CONCLUSIONS
Within the limits of this study, the following conclu-
sions were drawn:
THE JOURNAL OF PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY
TOLEDANO ET AL
614
VOLUME 81 NUMBER 5
1. The resin-modified glass ionomers showed less or
similar microleakage than the polyacid-modified com-
posite resin tested.
2. The amount of resin content and filler particles of
the materials may influence the degree of microleakage.
