Abstract
The purpose of this study has been to evaluate the marginal seal of Compoglass® (Vivadent), a polyacid-modified composite resin, in primary molars. Twelve clase II-cavities were prepared on the distal surfaces of 12 extracted healthy primary molars, restoring them with Compoglass. After a thermocycling process, the teeth were sealed except in the area of the restorations and were immersed in methylene blue 5% far 4 hours. Next, they were longitudinally sectioned and photographs were taken at a 40x magnification. The microleakage was limited to dental enamel in all the samples. Microleakage was only observed in the gingival margins and just in the 36,36% of the samples. Compoglass offers an acceptable marginal seal for its clinical use in primary dentition.
