About

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical performances of high-viscosity glass ionomer (GI), glass carbomer (GC), zirconia-reinforced GI (ZIR), and bulk-fill (BF) composite resin restorations.For this purpose, two calibrated operators placed 128 restorations in 30 patients with a mean age of 21 years. The restorations will be evaluated by one examiner at baseline and at 6, 12, 18,24, and 48 months using the modified US Public Health Service criteria. The data will statistically analyzed.

Enrollment: 30 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• patients presenting 1) at least four single-surface occlusal caries on their posterior molar teeth (first and/or second molars); 2) teeth to be restored had to be vital and without pulpal or periodontal disease, pain, and preoperative sensitivity; 3) teeth should be in occlusion; and 4) must agree to come to follow-up appointments.

Exclusion criteria

• patients with 1) poor oral hygiene, serious health problems, and/or heavy bruxism; 2) partly erupted teeth; 3) absence of adjacent and antagonist teeth; 4) teeth with interproximal caries; and 5) inability to attend recalls.
