Sumario:BACKGROUND: Up to date, the effect of cigarette smoke (CS) on the adhesive properties of the restorative materials bonded to tooth structure is still unclear. It is still questionable if it interferes with the durability and clinical success of these restorations. Few numbers of studies reported the assessment of microgaps of dental composite using cross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of interfacial microgaps between composite resin restoration and the tooth structure with or without exposure to CS under the CP-OCT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this in-vitro study, a standardized round class-V cavities were prepared in twenty extracted, caries-free human molar teeth, and they were divided randomly into two groups (n = 10). Adhesive system (Gluma universal, Kulzer GmbH) was applied followed by filing the prepared cavities with flowable composite restoration (Charisma, Kulzer GmbH). Then, exposure to CS (40 cigarettes/day) was carried out for 14 days and the samples were stored in normal saline solution after each smoke exposure cycle. Next, all samples were immersed in ammoniac silver nitrate for 24 h, followed by immersion in a photo-developing solution for 8 h. Optical comparison was carried out by CP-OCT to assess microgaps percentage between smoke (SG) and non-smoke groups (NSG) at the axial walls (AW) and cavity floor (CF). RESULTS: Independent T-test showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups (SG, NSG) in AW microgaps percentage (p = 0.008), while there was no difference in CF (p = 0.15) CONCLUSION: It can be inferred from the current finding that OCT can be used to predict the adaptability of the bonded restoration under the thermochemical influence. CS has a negative effect on the marginal integrity of the bonded polymeric restorations.
