title: The effect on marginal leakage when using two dentine adhesives in combination.
abstract: This study was undertaken to test the effectiveness of using two dentine adhesives in combination. One of the dentine adhesives used adhered to the calcium in the dentine while the other dentine adhesive adhered to the organic portion of the dentine. It was hoped by using them in combination that their actions would complement each other producing composite restorations with gap free margins. Results showed an increase in the number of gap free restorations but the marginal contraction gaps were not entirely eliminated.
