Comparative evaluation of cervical microleakage in class II composite restorations using different liner and placement techniques: An in vitro study
Incremental and bulk-fill placement techniques achieved superior marginal sealing compared with restorations using RMGIC or flowable liners. Liners did not improve sub-CEJ sealing and may increase interfacial stress. Simplified adhesive strategies using low-shrinkage composites can enhance long-term marginal integrity.
