Brief summary

BioUnion Filler is a relatively new restoration material that is known to be the first commercially available bioactive glass-ionomer cement. The manufacturing company recommends using BioUnion Filler in high risk caries patients because of its important characteristic of releasing Zn2+ and Ca2+ in high acidic environment. This study was designed to evaluate the clinical performance of this material in carious cervical lesions by comparing it to GIC (Fuji IX). Information about oral and tooth brushing habits along with gingival bleeding status will be collected for each patient

Interventions

The researcher himself will do the restorations of 40 teeth that will be divided into two groups randomly (20 restorations in each group) and the following will be done in the study group: - Vitality test (using ethyl chloride on a cotton pellet on the middle third of the facial surface of the tooth) - Apply local anesthesia - Isolation with cotton rolls and retraction cords or using rubber dam - Mechanical preparation and complete caries removal until reaching a clean and caries-free surface
