The shear strength of composite resin restorative systems bonded to dentin was measured and marginal integrity of class V restorations was assessed. A correlation between bond strength and marginal adaptation could not be demonstrated. The application of an intermediate layer of unfilled resin or the use of low-stiffness composite resins to improve the strain capacity of the restoration significantly influenced the quality of the marginal integrity.
