Microleakage after Thermocycling of Three Self-Etch Adhesives under Resin-Modified Glass-Ionomer Cement Restorations

Table 3

Mean scores of microleakage for RMGIC restorations using a polyacrylic acid conditioning or three different self-etching adhesive systems.

	Mean scores of microleakage (±SD)				𝑃
	DC + FII		SE + FII
GROUP I	DC-1 + FII-1	1.49 (±0.94)	XIII + FII	0.81 (±0.76)*	<.0001
	(𝑛=10)		(𝑛=10)
GROUP II	DC-2 + FII-2	0.64 (±0.68)	iB exp + FII	0.81 (±0.93)*	.43
	(𝑛=10)		(𝑛=10)
GROUP III	DC-3 + FII-3	0.61 (±0.70)	APLP + FII	0.69 (±0.63)*	.33

Total	All DC + FII	0.91 (±0.88)	All SE + FII	0.77 (±0.78)	.091

*When the different adhesive systems are compared, there is no statistically significant difference between the 3 one-step SE adhesives tested in this study (𝑃=.73).
