Summary

Microleakage in dentistry involves fluid movement and bacterial invasion, impacting dentin and pulp. Controlling bacterial infection with a proper biological seal is crucial for dentin and pulp healing and regeneration.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Dental Pulp Biology

Background:

  • Microleakage is a complex dental phenomenon involving hydrodynamic fluid movement and bacterial penetration at the tooth-preparation interface.
  • This phenomenon can lead to sensory responses, inflammation, and pathological changes in dentin and pulp, including reparative dentin formation.
  • Vital dentin acts as a primary defense against microleakage consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the multifaceted nature of microleakage in restorative dentistry.
  • To explore the role of bacterial infection in the pathological outcomes of microleakage.
  • To evaluate the regenerative capacity of dental pulp and dentin formation in response to materials and the importance of a biological seal.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of publications on microleakage from 1966 to present.
  • Analysis of studies on hydrodynamic fluid movement and its sensory component.
  • Examination of research on bacterial infiltration and its pathological effects on dentin and pulp.

Main Results:

  • Microleakage involves both sensory (fluid movement) and pathological (bacterial invasion) components.
  • Bacterial infection is a key factor in adverse pulp responses and failure of dentin regeneration.
  • Dental pulp and dentin can regenerate a new dentin bridge if bacterial infection is controlled by a biological seal.

Conclusions:

  • A proper biological seal is essential for preventing microleakage and ensuring dentin and pulp healing.
  • The absence of bacterial infection is critical for the regeneration of reparative dentin and dentin bridges.
  • Clinical selection of dental materials should consider their ability to facilitate a biological seal and prevent bacterial ingress.
