Abstract
Dental fillings are used in treating tooth decay. Tooth coloured materials have become more common than metal fillings. A factor in determining the effectiveness of these adhesive restorations is analysing the bond strength between the filling and tooth. A poor bond between the restorative material and tooth is likely to produce problems such as tooth sensitivity and recurrent decay. We intend to investigate the sealing ability of adhesive restorations to carious affected teeth and sound teeth.
