The restoration which shows percolation and shrinkage along the margins is_____________?

Correct answer: B. Unfilled resins

  • A. Composites
  • B. Unfilled resins
  • C. Amalgam
  • D. Polycarboxylate

Explanation

Unfilled resin undergoes marked polymerization shrinkage because it contains a high proportion of monomer, leaving marginal gaps that permit percolation. Composites shrink less because their inorganic filler reduces the resin content.
