pubmed-article:9863443 | pubmed:abstractText | In an in vitro study, the use of sealers and liners (Fuji varnish, Vitrabond, Vitremer, Paama 2, All-Bond 2, or Resinomer) significantly reduced the amount of marginal leakage around amalgam (Permite C or Lojic Plus) and gallium (Galloy) alloy restorations. This reduction in marginal leakage was produced by all sealers and liners tested, and there were no statistically significant differences between these materials. Unlined restorations of Permite C had significantly less marginal leakage than Galloy or Lojic Plus. Unlined Lojic Plus restorations had the greatest amount of marginal leakage. The experimental method used in the present study proved to be suitable for quantitative comparison of marginal leakage of different dental materials. | lld:pubmed |
