Background and aim: Given the prevalence of microleakage in composites and their known complications and lack of reporting of the influence of cavity depth and diameter on the same c-factor on the microleakage of composite cavities, this study investigated the effect of microleakage on composite cavities in identical C Factors. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study on 40 specimen (4 group of 10 each ) Cylindrical cavities with different volumes were prepared using diamond bur no. 006 in buccal surface of teeth (cfactor = 5). Height and width of cavities, respectively: Group I: Height and diameter 2 mm. groupII: height 2 and diameter 4 mm. Group III: height 4 and diameter 2 mm. Group IV: height and diameter 4 mm. All teeth were then restored with the same procedure. The specimens were then placed in a thermocyclic machine.The microleakage was evaluated using 50% weight silver nitrate findings were statishtically evaluated with kruscallwallis test considering significant level of 0.05. Result: There was no significant difference between Gingival leakages in 4 groups (p = 0.163). There was a significant difference between 4 groups in occlusal leakage and groups 1 with 2, 2 with 3 and 2 with 4 revealed differences significantly.(P=0.019) Comparing gingival and occlusal microleakage between groups 1,3,4. :there was not significant difference. (P>0.05) Group 2, there was significant difference between occlusal and gingival microleakage at p = 0.004 and gingival leakage rate was significantly greater than occlusal leakage. (P<0.05) Conclusion: There was no significant direct correlation between C- factor and microleakage, but it seems, microleakage was increased with increasing the cavity dimention.

Backgroud and Aim: microleakge is one of the most common cause of failure in restorative dentistry in this study the microleakge of filtek p90 , filtek p60 was evaluated and compared . Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, on 48 premolar teeth standardized class II MOD preparations were made cervical margin of mesial preparation were 1mm above the CEJ and 1 mm and the distal preparation were 1 mm below the CEJ Samples divided in to 3 groups of sixteen teeth. A group: teeth were filled with filtek silorane (3M ESPE , USA) and silorane system adhesive self-etch primer and bond. B: teeth were filled with filtek silorane and Adper single bond plus. C: sixteen teeth were filled with filtek p60 and Adper single bond plus. After AgNO3 dye opplicaiton microleakage were evaluated by stereomicroscope.data were statistically analyzed by kurskal-wallis and Wilcoxon. the level of 0.05 considered significant. Results: The most enamel microleakage was related to C and lowest enamel microleakge was shown in A group. The most dentin microleakage was related to B and the lowest dentin microleakge was shown in A group. Microleakage was significantly different between A, with B and C (P‹0.05) dentin microleakage was not significant difference between B and C. Conclusion: Type of composite and bonding effect to microleakage, the lowest microleakage was gingival margine irrespective of the location of the margine related to group A. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
