Table 3.
Distribution of nanoleakage in Galardin (GL-) treated specimen and controls 24 hours and 1 year after composite adhesion as described in Saboia et al., 2008. Numbers in Table indicate the percentage of samples with respective nanoleakage (from 0 to >75% of adhesive joint) as observed with 100x magnification in light microscope. The respective bars demonstrate significantly smaller percentage (12%) of marked (>50%) nanoleakage in GL-treated samples compared to controls (59%) after 1 year storage in vitro in artificial saliva.
