Abstract

To evaluate and compare various techniques of application of Cention-N in class V cavity and check its flexural strength and fracture resistance. METHODOLOGY: 30 intact permanent teeth will be selected and ideal class V cavity was prepared. The teeth were divided into 3 groups of 10 each and restored with Cention N- Group A- with conditioning, Group B- after etching and bonding, Group C- without conditioning. Further, teeth were subjected to occlusal load, increasing from increasing load of 50 to 100 Mpa and detachment of restoration was observed. The flexural strengths of the samples were determined. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: One way Anova and Post Hoc Tukey HSD (beta) has been used for compare and evaluate three different techniques of application of Cention N. RESULTS: The application of dentin conditioning agent prior to placement of Cention-N in cervical lesion provides a far better chance of retention than the use of etchant and bonding agent or without using any conditioner. However the difference between the groups was statistically insignificant.
