Micro-leakage can be described as the movement of bacteria, fluids, molecules, ions or air between the wall of the tooth cavity and the restorative material. This elicits clinical consequences such as sensitivity, discoloration in the internal phase between tooth and restorative material, secondary caries and pulp disease.
La microfiltración es el movimiento de bacterias, fluidos, moléculas, iones o aire entre la pared de la cavidad del diente y el material restaurativo, que trae consecuencias clínicas como sensibilidad, cambio de color en la interfase diente-material restaurador, caries secundaria y patología pulpar.
