In the present research, different adhesive techniques were used to set up fillings with composite resins. After the application of etch and rinse or self etch adhesive technique, marginal adaptation of composite fillings was estimated by the length of margins without gaps, and by the microretention of resin in enamel and dentin. The study material consisted of 40 extracted teeth.

- Bonding strength between composite and dental tissue is measured using the marginal index (MI), which reflects the quality of the bond and the presence of gaps.
- This study aimed to evaluate the bond quality of composite resin to enamel using two photopolymerization techniques and composite systems, focusing on MI values.
- Results showed that using the soft start program (SOF) led to superior bonding compared to constant halogen light (HIP), with significant differences noted in the MI for both techniques and composite systems.
Article Synopsis
- The quality of the enamel/composite interface is crucial for the effectiveness of adhesive restorative systems.
- The study assessed the marginal adaptation of different composite adhesives to enamel using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and analyzed enamel surface changes after exposure to a cariogenic solution.
- Results indicated that the total etch adhesive system provided better marginal fit and less gap formation compared to the self etch system, while both methods showed enamel demineralization around the restorations.

Introduction: Enamel surface around restoration is very sensitive to the effect of cariogenic solution. It is the consequence of the manner the cavity is prepared before restoration, the existence of marginal cracks around restoration, that is, irregular polishing of filling.
Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the morphology of the marginal enamel surface around composite fifth class restoration after the application of cariogenic solution.
