A diffusion model for microleakage in dental restorations
Abstract Microleakage is a significant problem in restorative dentistry. A model based on the principle of diffusion was developed to quantify the process of microleakage. The model required a certain quantity of radiotracer to be placed in the cavity and allowed to diffuse through the microgap that existed around the restoration.
