Brief summary
This study is conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of class I reinforced glass ionomer restorations (Zirconomer Improved and Equia Forte Fil)
Interventions
Glass hybrid innovation achieved through the introduction of ultrafine, highly reactive glass particles dispersed with conventional GI. The restoration is coated with Equia Forte coat which incorporates multi-functional monomer producing a tougher resin matrix. This system is designed as alternative of amalgam in posterior teeth.
Zirconia reinforced GI, Glass Polyalkenoate restoration; it is designed to exhibit high strength where the glass component of this GI undergoes finely controlled micronization to achieve optimum particle size and characteristics .
