Cavity Adaptation of Water-Based Restoratives Placed as Liners under a Resin Composite

Figure 1

Vertical sections of 2D micro-XCT reconstructed images of BD (A), EF (B), and MT (C). (a) (Grey scale images) white arrows show the composite-cement interfaces and black arrows the presence of interfacial and bulk porosity. More distinct composite-cement interfaces are imaged in BD and EF groups. MT demonstrated porous defects at the cement/dentine interfaces. (b) (Colored images) note the defects at the MTA-composite interface (arrow).
