Abstract:
This clinical study evaluated the microleakage effectiveness of a cavity varnish when used in combination with two types of amalgam: a spherical particle and a dispersed phase alloy. Calcium hydroxide was utilized as the microleakage detection agent. Copalite showed a reduction in microleakage when it was employed with the spherical particle alloy used in this study. This study clinically demonstrated that Copalite is not totally effective in eliminating microleakage.
