Abstract
Composite resins are the most commonly used direct restorative materials in present day practice. Argon laser has
been approved for photo polymerization of light Sensitive restorative materials. In this study a Comparative evaluation was
made to assess the Marginal sealing ability of Visible light cured and argon laser cured class V Composite resin
restorations. Occlusal and cervical areas were compared in degree of marginal leakage by giving separate scores for both
the areas. Marginal leakage was higher in cervical margin than the occlusal margin in both the groups. A higher degree of
marginal leakage was observed in laser cured restorations compared to the visible light cured restoration.
