title: Effectiveness of three cavity varnishes in reducing marginal microleakage of amalgam restorations: an in vitro study.
abstract: Dentin Adhesit, Cavi-Line and Kavite Lak cavity varnishes were applied to the walls of prepared Class V cavities in fifty-two caries free extracted molar teeth before placing amalgam fillings. Tests with Methylene Blue dye after thermocycling showed that all cavity varnishes showed significantly lesser marginal leakage when compared with the control group without any cavity varnish.
