The effects of thermal stress on the marginal leakage of resin composite restorations in bovine teeth were investigated by a method that preserved the specimens. The changes in marginal leakage of specimens with increasing numbers of thermal cycles were measured by an electrical conductivity method. Four brands of posterior resin composites were used to fill cylindrical cavities (2.0 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm in depth) on the labial surfaces of bovine incisors, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Thermal cycling stress was applied to the specimens for up to about seven weeks (9000 cycles). During this time, the electrical conductance between the pulp and a drop of physiological saline solution covering the resin restoration was measured periodically by application of an electrical potential (60 Hz, 10 Vp-p).
Thermal stress increased the marginal leakage gradually, rather than step-wise. Even before application of any thermal stress, wide variations of marginal leakage were found among different specimens restored with the same brand of resin. Specimens with less initial leakage showed less increase in leakage, and vice versa, throughout the experimental period.
