Cervical Microleakage in MOD Restorations: In Vitro Comparison of Indirect and Direct Composite

Abstract

Clinical Relevance One of the advantages reported for indirect composite restorations is the reduction of polymerization shrinkage, which could produce better marginal sealing. Although sealing of cervical enamel margins was slightly better for the indirect systems used, no difference between indirect and direct restorations was found for cervical margins in cementum/dentin.
