Abstract
The aim of bonding composite resin restorations to the tooth is to
ensure retention and also to prevent marginal leakage at the tooth restoration
interface, a process which can lead to further caries. An in
vitro marginal leakage study' of composite resins in combination wTEh
acid' etching and dentine and enamel bonding agents highlighted the lower
sealing potential of both enamel and dentine bonding agents to dentine
(36%>seal) compared to enamel (79%>seal). Several studies 2-4 suggest that
if the inner surface of the resin restoration appears as a well replicated
negative impression of the adjacent tooth surface, bonding has been
achieved. This study was undertaken to examine the appearance of the
inner surface of resin restorations which showed gross marginal leakage
in restored dentine cavities to determine the degree of marginal adaptation
between the restoration and cavity surface.
