Why is it important?

The results indicate that voids and gaps presence is associated with high viscosity materials and their insertion technique.

Perspectives

This study utilizes successfully the tomographic technique to investigate and amswer clinical questions. The rrsults show that high viscosityaterials need special techniques to minize gap formatio within small cavities
