Resumen
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of CEREC ceramic inlays, CEREC composite inlays and direct composite restorations in unbeveled proximal slot cavities under artificial aging conditions. Two groups of each restoration type were prepared (n=6), one group with a self-etch adhesive, the other group with H3PO4 enamel etching before the self-etch adhesive application. Replicas were generated before and after long-term thermo-mechanical loading under dentinal fluid simulation and margins were evaluated at ž200 magnification in the scanning electron miscroscope (SEM). Statistically, significant differences were found before and after loading with respect to the percentages of 'continuous margins', the direct composite filling with H3PO4 enamel etching giving the lowest percentages of 'continuous margins' after loading (p
