ABSTRACT
Microleakage at the occlusal margins was not evident in group 1 and group 2, but it showed in group 3 (p<0.05).
Microleakage in group 1 and group 3 was significantly lower than in group 2 at gingival margins (p<0.05).
Microleakage at gingival margins was greater than at occlusal margins in group 1 and group 2, but microleakage at occlusal margins was greater than at gingival margins in group 3 (p<0.05).
In group 1 and group 2, no gaps at occlusal margins showed. But gaps showed in group 3. Occlusal margins were free from a hybrid layer in all groups.
The thickness of the marginal hybrid layers was 2.5∼5 μm thick in group 5 μm thick in group 2 and 1.5 μm thick in group 3.
There was no corelation between microleakage and thickness of marginal hybrid layer.
