Brief summary

The study aim to evaluate the difference between the effect of zinc modified glass ionomer and conventional glass ionomer on the success of partial caries removel technique

Detailed description

The zinc ion has an antibacterial effect which could increase the success of partial caries removel technique by decreasing the bactrial population .

Interventions

PROCEDUREPartial caries removel techniques

Removel of all superfacial dentin and leaving the inner affectted dentin
