Abstract
An in vitro cariogenic technic which links the development of carious lesions with microleakage was used to study in vitro carious lesions around amalgam restorations. Lined and unlined amalgam restorations were evaluated, using the lesion as the endpoint. Two restorations, 1 lined (cavity varnish) and 1 unlined, were placed in the occlusal surfaces of each of 28 extracted teeth. The teeth were exposed to the effects of bacterial growth for either 12 or 16 wks. The technic provided an effective means of detecting carious lesions around restorations. Lined amalgam restorations were less susceptible to the production of carious lesions than unlined amalgam restorations.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
