This investigation was designed to study the pulpal responses to glass-ionomer base materials that differ in particle size distribution. The study was carried out according to the BSI (1980) recommendations for testing restorative materials in vivo. The base materials caused more pulpal inflammation than the control material, Kalzinol, although by an indirect mechanism. A significant association was demonstrated in the statistical model between bacterial presence within the experimental cavity and pulpal inflammation. The type of restorative material has no direct association with the degree of inflammation, although the model suggests that it exerts an indirect influence via its antibacterial properties, and hence its influence on microbial microleakage. The base material, with a heterogeneous particle distribution, was associated with greater bacterial microleakage. Particle size distribution, therefore, has some effect upon bacterial microleakage, but, because of its complex effect upon several physical properties of materials, further studies are indicated.
