Microbial microleakage assessment of class V cavities restored with different materials and techniques: A laboratory study

Abstract

With respect to the limitations of an <i>in vitro</i> study, our findings suggest that adding a thin layer of flowable composite or RMGI under nanohybrid composite in class V cavities did not decrease the bacterial leakage rate, whereas use of the "snow-plow" technique caused an increase in the microleakage rate.
