Group1: Total-Etch, light cure resin cement (Variolink Esthetic LC, Ivoclar Vivadent) was used. Group2: Self-Adhesive resin cement (SA cement plus, Panavia, Kuraray Noritake) was used without any pre-conditioning of the tooth surfaces of the teeth. The sample was immersed in 0.5% methylene blue dye, temperature of 37C for 12 hours. Each tooth was sectioned Longitudinally and horizontally and evaluated using a stereomicroscope (1500 stereo microscope Nikon Stereo Microscopes-SMZ). The values of dye penetration were recorded. values were documented and statistically analyzed by Mann-Whitney U-test. There were significant differences in the values of microleakage between the two groups. Study concluded that the use of Total Etch technique reduced the microleakage around PLV.
