Aim: The purpose of the study was to investigate effect of water-based solvent adhesive system on micro-leakage of composite resinrestorations.

Materials and methods: Class V cavities were prepared on buccal and lingual surfaces of 20 human molars, The occlusal margins were prepared in enamel while cervical ones were prepared in dentin below CEJ by one mm, and classified into four groups according to type of adhesive used five teeth each: Adper Single Bond2 was used as control, Clearfil SE Bond water-based adhesive, Clearfil S3 Bond ethanol-based adhesive, I-Bond acetone-based adhesive. All cavities were restored with Filtek Z250 composite, stored in distilled water at 37?C for 24 hours and thermal cycled. All surfaces, except for restorations and 1 mm from the margins, were coated with two layers of nail varnish. The teeth were immersed in a 3% methylene blue dye solution for 24 hours, and then rinsed in running water, blot-dried and sectioned longitudinally through center of restorations from the facial to lingual surface. The sections (10 sections for each group by n=20 readings) were blindly assessed for microleakage of dye penetration for both the occlusal and gingival margins. Data were collected and statistically analyzed.

Results: Results demonstrate a comparable significantly lesser mean dye penetration in Adper single Bond2 adhesive than in other groups at enamelmargins (p<0.05) and a highly significant lesser mean dye penetration at dentin margins. Clearfil SE Bond water-based adhesive showed a significant higher mean value of dye penetration at dentin margins than either ethanol or acetone-based adhesives and a comparable non significantly lesser mean dye penetration score at enamel margins.

Conclusion: Clearfil SE Bond (water-based adhesive) showed a significant higher mean value of dye penetration score at dentin margins than either ethanol or acetone-based adhesives.
