In this study, we tried to revaluate the effect of Amalgambond liner application on the degree of marginal leakage and retention of amalgam restoration by comparing with that of the Copalite and All-bond 2. The results obtained from this
experiment
were
as follows;
1. Tensile strength representing the bond between amalgam and tooth structure was the highest in Amalgambond, and All-Bond 2, Copalite in descending order. There were statistically significant difference between each group(P<0.05).
2. The degree of microleakage in Amalgambond was lower than that of All-Bond 2, and Copalite, but no stastically significant difference could be found(P>0.05).
3. The liner such as Amalgambond or All-Bond 2 were evaluated to be superior to the conventional Copalite in bond strength as well as in microleakage. But the result of this study could not show the superiority of one material over the oters;
Amalgambond and All-bond 2. Besides the results of the study, other factors, such as practical convenience, should be considered in determining the selection of material. The support of well designed clinical studies on this subject are in
demand.
