Most advantageous indication of acid etching is______________?

Correct answer: A. Decrease micro leakage

  • A. Decrease micro leakage
  • B. Decrease polymerization shrinkage
  • C. Decrease coefficient of thermal expansion
  • D. Decrease porosity in restorative material

Explanation

Acid etching creates microporosities and increases surface energy, allowing resin to penetrate enamel and form micromechanical retention; this improves the seal and reduces microleakage. It does not directly reduce polymerization shrinkage or thermal expansion.
