Abstract

Background: The authors retrospectively evaluated the clinical performance of a resin-modified glass ionomer cement as a Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class V restorative material in primary teeth.

Methods: Three hundred and six patients that had received 864 resin-modified glass ionomer restorations, which had been in the mouth for a minimum of three years, were included in this evaluation.

Results: The results demonstrated an overall 93.4 percent restoration success rate, Class I restorations presenting a 92.6 percent success. Class II restorations presenting a 93.4 percent success, Class III restorations presenting a 100 percent success and Class V restorations presenting a 98 percent success, respectively.

Conclusions: The resin-modified glass ionomer cement functioned well as a Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class V restorative material in the primary dentition.

Clinical implications: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement restorative material functions well for Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class V restorations in primary teeth.
