title: In vitro microleakage of dentin adhesives.
abstract: This in vitro study measured the microleakage of current dentin bonding agents and glass-ionomer bases. Freshly extracted human molars were prepared to a flat surface, and dentin adhesives and composite resins were applied in a plastic matrix. Samples were stored in water at 37 degrees C, thermocycled, stained with AgNO3, embedded in epoxy resin, and sectioned for evaluation of stain penetration at the composite resin/tooth interface. The reliability index of the dentin adhesives varied significantly between materials. The enamel control had essentially no microleakage, and the aluminum oxalate dentin adhesive on dentin had significantly less microleakage than other dentin adhesives tested. Present dentin adhesives were unable to prevent, but may reduce, microleakage.
