Abstract:
All dental restoratives exhibit some microleakage. Recent studies disclosed that oxalate salts were superior to Copalite varnish in reducing dentinal permeability, but inferior in reducing microleakage. This study compared the effectiveness of a potassium oxalate solution (DDS) with three other cavity liners (Copalite, Cavi-Line, Prisma Universal Bond) and a no-liner control in reducing microleakage under amalgam restorations. Under the conditions of this study, DDS solution was significantly effective in reducing microleakage under amalgam restorations.
