Main Article Content
Abstract:
Microleakage in full-coverage restorations remains a major challenge in restorative dentistry and is defined as the penetration of bacteria, oral fluids, or ions between a restoration and the tooth structure. This subtle but problematic infiltration can result in secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity, marginal discoloration, and ultimately, restoration failure. Such concerns are especially relevant for full-coverage restorations, which play a vital role in rehabilitating structurally compromised teeth and ensuring long-term oral health.
