The aim of this study was to analyse the interfacial micromorphology of total‐etch adhesives and dentin structures different locations by using SEM. Standardized cylindrical cavities (3mm in diameter, 2mm deep) with all margins in dentin were prepared on occlusal and buccal surfaces of twenty extracted human third molars. A total‐etch dentin adhesive system and a light‐cure flowable composite (Filtek Ultimate Flowable, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) were used in this study. Micro‐morphological SEM analysis of the marginal seal of the original tooth specimens was performed using high magnification of up to 1000×. In this study, we found the difference in interfacial micromorphology in dentin different locations. Also, marginal gap was found in both observed dentin area. Better understanding of complexity and three‐ dimensional variations of the tooth structure is important for prevention of clinical challenges such as postoperative sensitivity, marginal discoloration and secondary caries, which could be prevented by achieving of predictable and long‐lasting adhesive bond. In this article, we report on the influence of dentinal orientation on the quality of adhesive bond between composite restorations and dentin different locations. This is important for understanding the occurrence and prevention of microleakage.
