Abstract
Microleakage remains a significant clinical concern in restorative
dentistry, particularly in relation to resin composite restorations. It is
defined as the passage of bacteria, fluids, molecules, or ions between the
cavity wall and the restorative material, leading to adverse outcomes such as
postoperative sensitivity, marginal staining, recurrent caries, and eventual
restoration failure. Despite advancements in adhesive systems, polymerization
shrinkage and the complex bonding mechanism between composite and tooth
structure continue to challenge the achievement of an ideal marginal seal.
