Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated the influence of zinc oxide-eugenol temporary cement (ZOE-TC) on the sealing ability of composite restorations using two adhesive systems. Methods: Standard Class V cavities were prepared in 20 bovine incisors and restored with either ZOE-TC (IRM®) or eugenol-free cement (Cavit®) (n=10/temporary cement type). After 7 days, five teeth per material group were restored using Single Bond® (SB) and five using Adper Prompt® (AP). The cavities were filled with composite (Filtek Z-250), thermal cycled (500 cycles), immersed in basic fuchsine solution, and longitudinally sectioned. Dye penetration was evaluated using optical-microscopy and scored. Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test (P = 0.05). Results: Overall, leakage in dentin was similar to that in enamel. In enamel margins, only the group with Cavit® cement associated with AP presented significant higher leakage. In dentin margins, AP exhibited higher leakage than the groups restored with SB; there was no significant difference between eugenol-free cement and ZOE-TC. Conclusion: In general, SB showed better marginal sealing than AP, and ZOE-TC did not increase dye leakage. Eugenol in the temporary cement did not affect the marginal sealing of adhesive restorations. Key words: Zinc oxide-eugenol cement; dentin-bonding agents; leakage; adhesive restoration
