Microleakage was assessed in Class V composite resin restorations, placed in extracted noncarious human premolar teeth after the enamel cavosurface margins of the preparations had been etched with phosphoric acid for 5, 15, or 30 seconds. The restored teeth were thermocycled, placed in methylene blue dye, invested, and sectioned. The extent of dye penetration along the tooth-restoration interface in the three etching groups was compared. The group etched for 5 seconds showed the greatest leakage; leakage was statistically significantly greater than that in the groups etched for 15 or 30 seconds. The tooth-restoration interface at the occlusal and gingival margins showed more leakage than did the mesial or distal margins.

D018709	Statistics, Nonparametric	A class of statistical methods applicable to a large set of probability distributions used to test for correlation, location, independence, etc. In most nonparametric statistical tests, the original scores or observations are replaced by another variable containing less information. An important class of nonparametric tests employs the ordinal properties of the data. Another class of tests uses information about whether an observation is above or below some fixed value such as the median, and a third class is based on the frequency of the occurrence of runs in the data.
