In vitro evaluation of microleakage of indirect composite inlays cemented with four luting agents.

Statement Of Problem: Microleakage around dental restorations is implicated in the occurrence of secondary carious lesions, adverse pulpal response, and reduced restoration longevity.

Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the microleakage of indirect resin composite inlays cemented with 4 luting agents.

Material And Methods: Standardized Class V inlay preparations overlapping the cemento-enamel junction were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 40 extracted human mandibular third molars.
