Abstract
Abstract— The ability of composite resins to adapt to acid‐etched enamel cavity walls is examined and microleakage which occurs around composite resin restorations placed in etched and unetched cavities is investigated.The use of an unfilled resin layer prior to application of the composite resin optimized adaptation. Cavity walls for composite resin restorations should be etched. For the teeth investigated, a 2 minute etch produced a more reliable etch pattern on the enamel and less micro‐leakage than a 1 minute etch.
