The effect of the use of rubber dam and the use of cotton rolls on the marginal adaptation of composite resin fillings to acid-etched enamel was investigated in vivo. Each of 35 patients received one hybrid and one microfilled resin filling placed in front teeth under rubber dam and one ...
Case: A 18-year-old female patient felt uncomfortable and wanted to improve her appearance because the front teeth had old fillings turned yellowish and white spots. Objective examination showed enamel hypoplasia in 12, 11, 21, 22 and secondary caries in 11 and 2...
