Assessing the marginal seal of bioactive restorative materials in class II cavities with a bacterial penetration model
Establishing materials with an improved marginal seal is essential for ensuring longevity of direct restorations and preventing secondary caries development. Bioactive restorative materials, when used with complementary adhesives, show greater resilience to bacterial penetration compared to self-adhesive materials, making them a promising future alternative to nanohybrid composites.
