The cavity sealing ability of composite restorations subjected to thermal stress.

An artificial caries technique, using a diffusion controlled acidified gel, was used to create in vitro artificial lesions adjacent to composite restorations. Prior to gel immersion, test specimens were temperature-cycled in a machine designed specifically for this purpose. Examination of control specimens showed little evidence of leakage, the presence of a cavity wall lesion being used as an indication of leakage. Compared to the controls, the test specimens showed either a reduction or no change in leakage pattern. It is suggested that thermal percolation may not be of clinical significance in relation to composite restorations.
