The effect of mastication on marginal adaptation of composite restorations in vivo
V. Qvist
The marginal adaptation of composite restorations placed in vivo in
acid-etched cavities in teeth with and without antagonists was compared.
The results showed that functional mastication has a major influence on the
marginal adaptation of composite restorations in the oral environment and
must therefore be considered in the planning of future leakage experiments.
