Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical evaluation of restorations: the groups in which the glass ionomer cement (GIC) was inserted using the 2 layers technique should present superior longevity, since it is believed that the placement of a thin layer of flowable GIC may incur in smaller air bubbles formation between the material and the tooth, therefore minimizing the formation of weakness areas, which could concentrate energy and start a fracture, leading to marginal defects or loss of the restoration | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical evaluation of restorations: the groups of teeth that received the application of fluid resin with nanoparticles should have a superior clinical performance than those protected with petroleum jelly, since that in addition to protecting superficially the GIC from suffer syneresis or soaking water, it also would provide a more smoothness surface, which would result in higher resistance of the material, especially in proximal restorations | — |
