Abstract

The authers have studied the marginal leakage on various filing materials : Composite resin, Polycarboxylate cement, Zinc phosphate cement, Silicate cement and Zinc-oxide eugenol cement, by means of penetration of 2% aquous methylene blue between cavity walls and filing materials at body temperature and at thermal changs in the range of 4~60℃ The results revealed as follows. 1) All the filling materials revealed the penetration of dye between cavity walls and filling materials. 2) Zinc-oxide eugenol cement was the most effective to prevent the dye penetration on the contrary silicate cement cases showed greatest leakage at 37℃ and at temperature changes in range of 4-60℃. 3) The composite resin showed moderate leakage either at 37℃ or at thermal changes 4) Marginal obstructions of polycarboxylate cement were unsatisfactory at 37℃ and at temperature changes.
