Abstract

Flowable and microfill composites have been recommended for Class V cavities. But the use of flowable composites is controversial because of its physical properties. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of 6 composites (2 hybrids, 2 microfills, and 2 flowable composites) with/without load cycling. Methods: Notch-shaped Class V cavities were prepared on buccal surfaces of 180 extracted human upper premolars and then divided into non-load cycling group(G1) and load cycling group(G2).(omitted)
