Best marginal seal is provided by____________?

Correct answer: B. Zinc oxide eugenol

  • A. Zinc phosphate
  • B. Zinc oxide eugenol
  • C. Gutta-percha
  • D. Resin

Explanation

ZOE provides a good marginal seal because it adapts well to cavity walls and has a low film thickness, making it useful as a temporary cement. Its relatively high solubility in oral fluids limits its use as a permanent luting cement.
