Resin based composite considers substantially as a restorative
material in clinic. Dentists concern in placement resin composite
restorations with Long term survival.
Materials and Methods: 20 Non carious human third molars, class I
cavity was pr
epared in every molar, restored with methacrylate
resin composite Tetric EvoCeram. The restored teeth were
subjected to thermocycles. Specimen was randomly divided into
two groups : the first group 10 restorations, were repaired by
Cojet® (3M ESPE, Germany) and restored by Filtek™ P90, the
second group 10 restorations also repaired by Cojet ® but restored
by Filtek™ Z350 XT. After that all teeth were subjected to
thermocycles again, later immersed in 0.5% basic fuchsin solution
for 1 s. The teeth were transversely sectioned and observed under
a stereomicroscope. The degree of dye penetration was recorded
and analyzed.
Results: No statistically significant differences in microleakage
were observed between two groups either with low shrinkage
Silorane resin composite or methacrylate resin composite
