Objective. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the microleakage of 5 restorative materials. Methods. In total, 100 maxillary molars were randomly assigned to 5 groups (n = 20) for restoration with 5 different materials: amalgam, light-cured glass-ionomer cement, feldspathic porcelain fused to metal, pressed lithium disilicate glass ceramic, and composite resin. In each group, 10 specimens were subjected to MRI, and 10 specimens served as controls with no MRI exposure. Standardized class V cavities were prepared with occlusal margins terminating in enamel and gingival margins terminating in dentin. Microleakage penetration at the enamel and dentin margins was calculated for each group. A chi-square test was used for intergroup comparisons. Statistical significance was established at P < .05. Results. Microleakage penetration did not differ significantly between specimens subjected to MRI and the controls for any restoration (P > .362 for the enamel margin, P > .067 for the dentin margin) or between specimens treated with different restorative materials (P > .355). No significant differences in microleakage were discovered between the enamel and dentin margins of any of the restorative groups (P > .236). Conclusion. MRI had no effect on the microleakage of the 5 restorative materials. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2021;132:239-246)
