Brief summary
Aim: To assess the clinical performance of high-density glass ionomer compared to amalgam restorations on occlusal lesions in patients with disabilities. Null hypothesis was that there would be no difference in the clinical performance between the restorative systems. Methodology: Two-arm split mouth randomized controlled clinical trial design. Patients with occlusal caries lesions on two molars of opposite arches were randomly assigned. A total of 77 patients were included, completing a total of 154 restorations. After 3, 18 y 26 months the restorations were evaluated considerating Modified USPHS/Ryge clinical.
Interventions
In people with disabilities who had occlusal caries lesions on two molars of opposite arches were randomly assigned as intervention and control.
INTERVENTION: Restorations of Equia FIL GC® high-density glass ionomer.
- Clínical procedure: caries removal, then the enamel and dentin were conditioned with 20% polyacrylic acid for 20 seconds, after mixted we injected the material immediately to the cavity and contoured with a hand instrument. When the material was set (approximately in 2.5 min),
In people with disabilities who had occlusal caries lesions on two molars of opposite arches were randomly assigned as intervention and control. INTERVENTION: Restorations of Equia FIL GC® high-density glass ionomer. - Clínical procedure: caries removal, then the enamel and dentin were conditioned with 20% polyacrylic acid for 20 seconds, after mixted we injected the material immediately to the cavity and contoured with a hand instrument. When the material was set (approximately in 2.5 min), restoration was finished with ultrafine diamond burs and polished with abrasive discs. Then, the coating material (EQUIA Coat) was applied with a micro brush to the surface of the restoration and irradiated for 20 seconds and finally occlusion check. - The treatment was performed by calibrated and trained dentists in Special Care Dental Clinic of the University of Chile. - Approximate duration 30 - 40 minutes. - The intervention will be administered once only.
