Abstract

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the quality of marginal adaptation class I restorations using the operative dental microscope. Material and methods – 30 posterior teeth with composite restorations were photographed by the digital camera of dental microscope and after that transferred on PC and measurements on the surfaces of the deficient or excess restorations were determined. Conclusions – Restorations with shortfall are more common than excess fillings errors.
