Abstract

There were attempts to reduce the micro leakage and surface roughness of resin composite. One of them is surface sealing. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of materials, specifically developed for surface sealing, on microleakage and surface roughness in Class V composite restorations. Twenty five standardized Class V cavity preparations were made on the facial surface of extracted human premolars and were randomly assigned to 5 groups. The teeth were restored with Z-250 resin composite after applying Single Bond adhesive system.(중략)
