Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The high-cost GIC material presented a 2-fold more likely survival rate than the low-cost cement with similar cost-effectiveness.Timepoint: At the end of 3months, 6months and 12monnths	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
the survival rates of low cost cement were 87.2%, 81.7%, 67.3% and that of high cost cement were 96.8%, 95.8%, 91.9% at the end of 3months, 6months and 12months respectively. The direct cost of the ART restoration for low-cost cement was Rs. 301.4 per restoration and Rs. 383.7 per restoration for high-cost cement.Timepoint: 3months, 6months, 12months	—
