An In Vitro Evaluation of Leakage of Two Etch and Rinse and Two Self-Etch Adhesives after Thermocycling
Table 2
The 6-point severity scale to evaluate the microleakage.
| Scores | Signification |
| Score = 0 | No leakage | Score = 1 | Leakage up to the enamel-dentin junction or a depth of 0.5 mm on the radicular wall | Score = 2 | Leakage up to the maximum half of the lateral wall (leakage depth ≤1 mm) | Score = 3 | Leakage over half of the lateral wall (1 mm < leakage depth < 2 mm) | Score = 4 | Subtotal leakage on the whole of the lateral wall (leakage depth = 2 mm) | Score = 5 | Total leakage partly or entirely on the pulpal wall of the cavity (leakage depth >2 mm) |
