Özet
The purpose of this study was to evaluate, after 5 years, the clinical success of preparing class 1 composite resin restorations with an Er:YAG laser. Sixty-five teeth of 30 patients were included in the study, and an Er:YAG laser emitting at a wavelength of 2.94 mu m was used for the class I cavity preparations with not more than one third of the mesiodistal width of the occlusal surfaces of each tooth. All cavities were restored with a light-cured composite resin, following a single bond application. After the baseline examination, restorations were reevaluated by the same experienced clinician after 5 years, using the modified Ryge criteria. At the end of 5 years, 41 of the 65 restorations were evaluated in 22 patients and scored. With respect to marginal discoloration, anatomic form, color match, and surface texture, significant differences were found between baselines tested after 5 years. Clinical evaluation of postoperative sensitivity showed that 90.2 % were rated as alpha. All restorations evaluated in this study demonstrated acceptable clinical performance within the evaluation period based on the alpha and bravo ratings for clinically satisfactory restorations. Further evaluations are necessary for a better clinical performance analysis.
