ABSTRACT

Cavities affecting the cervical regions of the teeth (class V) are of a common occurrence and may require restorations; if associated with caries, to alleviate sensitivity, improve appearance and prevent the enlargement of the lesion. A variety of dental materials and adhesives are suggested for restoring class V carious lesions but selecting which will perform best in each situation may present a challenge for the clinician. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro study is to compare and evaluate the amount of microleakage around a class V cavity preparation with four different tooth coloured materials.
