Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Objective To compare the microleakage at enamel and dentin margin before and after thermocycling of a self-adhering flowable composite with using resin composite combined with bonding agent. Materials and methods Class V cavities (n = 96) were prepared on buccal surfaces of 96 extracted premolars. The teeth were divided into and 4 groups (n = 24) : 1. Vertise flow 2. Vertise flow + Optibond all-in-one 3. Premise flow + Optibond all-in-one and 4. Premise + Optibond all-in-one. The restored teeth from each group were divided into 2 subgroups (n = 12) : non-thermocycling and thermocycling (1,000 cycles), then immersed …
