Cervical Caries
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the performance of the bioceramic glass ionomer compared to conventional high viscosity glass ionomer for restoration of carious cervical lesions in geriatric patients over 12 months follow up.
Interventions
bioactive glass ionomer with unique biocompatibility and biological regenerative properties
A hybrid of glass ionomer and composite resin with acid-base and polymerizable components
