TABLE 3. Summary of results for marginal integrity etc .

Margins (general) Marginal opening Marginal fracture Enamel microcracks
Fuji IX Poor from 1 month in all cases Present in all cases from 1 month Fracture occurred by 1 month in all cases No microcracks in enamel in all cases
F II LC Poor from 1 month in all cases Present in all cases from 1 month, though some evidence of closure in older samples Some fracturing by 1 month in various samples Enamel microcracks in deciduous (conditioned) and permanent (unconditioned) only by 6 months
Dyr. AP Poor from 1 month in all cases except young unconditioned, which became poor by 6 months Some opening of margins in conditioned teeth only after 6 months Fracture of margins in samples in conditioned teeth only after 6 months Enamel microcracks apparent at 1 month for permanent (unconditioned) only; and also in deciduous (conditioned) and permanent (conditioned) by 6 months. No microcracks in deciduous (unconditioned) even after 18 months.
Unifil Fl. Excellent in young permanent teeth, good in deciduous samples Complete absence of marginal opening in all samples No fracture in any samples Microcracks in deciduous at 6 months and permanent at 12 months.
