Microleakage was studied in class-II cavities restored with a calcium hydroxide liner and an adhesive system combined with two different posterior composite resins. The restorations were exposed to repeated loading when immersed in dye solution. The teeth were cut, and microleakage along the cavity walls and into dentin was evaluated by light microscopy. Dye penetration at the interface between the cavity and the restoration was recorded in 61% of the loaded and in 30% of the unloaded teeth. The difference between loaded and unloaded was greater for the teeth lined with Life than with Gluma dentin bonding.
