The purpose of the study was to evaluate the degree of the marginal leakage of esthetic restorative materials on root caries restoration. 120 cavities were prepared to $90^{circ}$ butt joint on all margins on the crown and root portion, and divided into 4 groups. The four groups of cavity were filled with Amalgam(Dongmuyung Dental Alloy Co., Ltd, KOREA), Silux$^{(R)}$(3M Co., USA)-Scotch Bond 2$^{(R)}$(3M Co., USA), Silux$^{(R)}$-All Bond$^{(R)}$(BISCO USA), and GC Fuji II$^{(R)}$(G-C Co., JAPAN) respectively. The apical margin of the preparation was finished to leave a flash of restorative material. The coronal margin of the preparation was finished not to leave a flash of restorative material. All specimens were sectioned longitudinally with Isomet Low speed saw(Buether Ltd, USA). The degree of dye penetration was evaluated as the parameter of marginal leakage under the stereoscope. The results were as follows. 1. At the enamel and dentin/cementum margins, the margin were finished to leave a flash of material showed less marginal leakage than that were finished not to leave a flash of material (P<0.001). 2. The enamel margins showed less marginal leakage than the dentin/cementum margins(P<0.001). 3. There was no significant difference in the degree of the marginal leakage between Silux$^{(R)}$-Scotch Bond 2$^{(R)}$ group and Silux$^{(R)}$-All Bond$^{(R)}$ group.
