Clinical Performance of Glass Ionomer Versus Resin Composite Restorations

The aim of this randomised-controlled, single-blind, split-mouth, and single-centre clinical trial was to evaluate the 2-year clinical performances of a high-viscosity glass ionomer and nanohybrid composite resin in occlusal restorations on mandibular second molar teeth in patients at risk for salivary contamination.

About this study

Occlusal carious lesions on the right and left mandibular second molars of 56 patients (26 females, 30 males) were restored in a split-mouth design. A high-viscosity glass ionomer (Hv-GIC) (Equia, GC) was used to restore the carious lesions in patients in the treatment group, while a nano-hybrid composite resin (GSO) (GrandioSO, Voco) was used for patients in the control group. Clinical evaluations of the restorations were performed at 1-week, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-up appointments, according to the FDI criteria. Data were analysed using the Friedman's analysis of variance and Mann-Whitney U tests (α=0.05).

Primary outcomes

  1. Surface lustre of dental restorations

    Time frame: Changes of dental restorations regarding surface lustre were observed at 1-week, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year results were compared between two restorative material and change of material suring the study is observed

    Surface lustre of dental restorations were observed by visual examination of two examiners. Restorations were scored 1 to 5 according to FDI criteria (1. Lustre comparable to enamel, 2. Slightly dull, not noticeable from speaking distance, 3.Dull surface but acceptable if covered with film of saliva, 4. Rough surface, cannot be masked by saliva film, simple polishing is not sufficient. Further intervention necessary, 5. Very rough, unacceptable plaque retentive surface.).

  2. Staining restoration surface and restoration margin

    Time frame: Changes of dental restorations regarding surface lustre were observed at 1-week, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year results were compared between two restorative material and change of material suring the study is observed

    Surface lustre of dental restorations were observed by visual examination of two examiners. Restorations were scored 1 to 5 according to FDI criteria (1. No surface staining, no marginal staining, 2. Minor surface staining, minor marginal staining easily removable by polishing, 3. oderate surface staining and moderate marginal staining that may also present on other teeth, not esthetically unacceptable, 4. Unacceptable surface staining on the restoration and major intervention necessary for improvement and Pronounced marginal staining; major intervention necessary for improvement, 5. Severe surface staining and/or subsurface staining, generalized or localized, not accessible for intervention and deep marginal staining, not accessible for intervention.).

  3. Fracture of material and retention

    Time frame: Changes of dental restorations regarding Fracture of material and retention were observed at 1-week, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year results were compared between two restorative material and change of material suring the study is observed

    Fracture of material and retention of dental restorations were observed by visual examination of two examiners. Restorations were scored 1 to 5 according to FDI criteria (1. No fractures / cracks, 2. Small hairline crack. 3. Two or more or larger hairline cracks and/or material chip fracture not affecting the marginal integrity or approximal contact, 4. Material chip fractures which damage marginal quality or, approximal contacts. 5. (Partial or complete) loss of restoration or multiple fractures.).

  4. Recurrence of caries

    Time frame: Changes of dental restorations regarding recurrence of caries were observed at 1-week, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year results were compared between two restorative material and change of material suring the study is observed

    Recurrence of caries were observed by visual examination of two examiners. Restorations were scored 1 to 5 according to FDI criteria (1. No secondary or primary caries 2. Small and localized. 3 Larger areas of 1. Demineralisation 2. Erosion or 3. Abrasion/abfraction, dentine not exposed Only preventive measures necessary 4. Caries with cavitation and suspected undermining caries Localized and accessible can be repaired, 5. Deep caries or exposed dentine that is not accessible for repair of restoration.)
