title: Microleakage between different types of base materials.
abstract: This study investigated the sealing properties of various combinations of base materials. Three chemically cured and three light-activated base materials were combinationally used to make 15 sample groups. The samples were thermocycled and immersed in 0.05% crystal violet solution for 1 hour. They were then embedded in clear casting resin, sectioned, and photographed. The interfaces of the samples were digitized. The ratio of the total interface length to the penetration of leakage was calculated and compared. The results indicated that the combination of Cavalite and VLC Dycal materials had the least microleakage and was significantly different from the other 14 groups.
