Abstract
The purpose of  this study was to evaluate the microleakage of nanofilled resin composite restorations  when  three adhesives that are  filled adhesives : Adper®  Single Bond 2 and OptiBond®  Solo Plus and unfilled adhesive : Adper®  Single Bond of Two-step Total-etch System  were used. Sixty Class V cavities   (3 mm. width, 4 mm. length and  2 mm. depth) were prepared  on buccal surface of extracted human molars. Occlusal margins were located in enamel whereas gingival margins were  located in dentin or cementum. Prepared cavities were divided into 3 groups of 20 cavities  and restored with a nanofilled  resin  composite  Filtex®  Z 350  with one unfilled adhesive (Adper®  Single Bond)  and two filled adhesives (Adper®  Single Bond 2 and OptiBond® Solo  Plus). The adhesives were used according to the manufacturers’ instructions. The teeth were stored in distilled water for 24 hours before subjected to thermocycling  between  5-55°c  for 500 cycles  with dwell time of 20 seconds  and then immersed in 2% methylene blue dye for 4 hours. Each tooth was longitudinally sectioned in bucco-lingual direction. The sectioned specimens were examined under Stereomicroscope at 35X magnification and recorded with Digital camera. The distance of dye penetration were measured using Image J program. The data were analyzed by One-way ANOVA test (p
