Dentine deproteinization and microleakage around gingival third resin restorations.

Objectives: A significant factor in achieving satisfactory adhesion of restorative resins to dentine substrate is the method by which the dentine surface is treated before an adhesive is applied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of deproteinization on microleakage around gingival third resin restorations.

Materials And Methods: Standardised Class V preparations were made on randomly selected intact upper and lower human molars.
