Marginal leakage related to temperature change occurs to the greatest extent with_______________?

Correct answer: B. Unfilled resin

  • A. Amalgam alloy
  • B. Unfilled resin
  • C. Composite resin
  • D. Direct filling gold

Explanation

Unfilled resin has a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, so temperature changes produce greater dimensional mismatch and marginal leakage. Composite resin is less affected because inorganic filler reduces thermal expansion.
