title: An investigation into the incidence of voids in indirect composite inlays formed using different packing techniques.
abstract: An investigation is described into the incidence of voids in indirect composite inlays formed using different packing techniques and different composite systems. From the results it was found that packing inlays under a 6 bar air pressure prior to light curing produced significantly fewer voids than layering or bulk packing techniques.
