The Effect of Lithium Disilicate Opacity on Polymerization of a DualCured Resin Cement

Abstract

This paper evaluates the five year clinical evaluation of restorations formed in a low shrinkage stress resin composite material (3M ESPE Filtek Silorane, Seefeld, Germany) and placed in the general dental practices of five members of the PREP Panel, a group of UK practice-based researchers. Results indicated satisfactory performance of the material under evaluation, other than for marginal staining, which affected 60% of the restorations evaluated after five years, albeit with less than 10% of the circumference of the restorations being affected. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The low shrinkage stress material, Filtek SiloraneTM, demonstrated good clinical performance in the majority of parameters which were assessed at five years.
