Improvements in adhesive materials and techniques have contributed to the clinical success of posterior composite restorations. However, even with those improvements, the gingival margin of a Class II composite restoration remains a difficult area to seal predictably and therefore represents a potential location for failure. Recent approaches to sealing the cervical margin have involved the use of materials such as resin‐modified glass ionomers, compomers, and flowable resins. This “Critical Appraisal” is the second part of a two‐part series on this subject.
