Abstract
Composite is always a preferred material of choice over amalgam because of better esthetics and ease of manipulation. But polymerization shrinkage is one disadvantage of this material which needs to be discussed as it effects the longevity of the restoration. More polymerization shrinkage results in microleakage and eventually the failure of the restoration. Therefore, the present article is aim to discuss in detail the causes and prevention of microleakage for better understanding.
