6-year Clinical Evaluation of Glass Ionomer Cements (GIS) With Resin Coating on Posterior Teeth

Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical performance of two highly viscous encapsulated GICs (EquiaFil and Riva SC) covered with two different coatings (Equia Coat and Fuji Varnish) over 6-year using modified United State Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria.

A total of 256 restorations were made with EquiaFil and Riva SC. Equia Coat or Fuji Varnish was used randomly on the surface of the restorations. The restorations were evaluated at baseline, 6, 12, 18 months and 6 years after placement using modified USPHS criteria. The results were evaluated with Pearson Chi-Square and Mann Whitney U-test (p\< 0.05).

Conditions

• Dental Caries

Interventions

OTHER

EquiaFil G-coat

The old restorations or new caries were removed with anaesthetic solutions when necessary, a matrix was applied for two surface cavities and the restoration was performed with EquiaFil in bulk after mixing 10 sec. in the mixing machine. After 2min 30 sec, the restoration was contoured and the occlusion adjusted.Then the surface was coated with G-coat and light cured for 10 sec. The restorations were controlled by 2 independent examiners at baseline, 6-12-18 months and 6 years according to the United State Public Health Service criteria.

OTHER

EquiaFil Fuji Varnish

The old restorations or carious lesions were removed with anaesthetic solutions when necessary, a matrix was applied for two surface cavities and the restoration was performed with EquiaFil in bulk after mixing in the mixing machine. After 2min 30 sec, the restoration was contoured and the occlusion adjusted.Then the surface was coated in 2 layers of Fuji Varnish. The restorations were controlled by 2 independent examiners at baseline, 6-12-18 months and 6 years according to the United State Public Health Service criteria.

OTHER

Riva SC G-coat

The old restorations or carious lesions were removed and a sectional matrix was applied for two surface cavities and the restoration was performed with Riva SC in bulk after mixing 10 sec. in the mixing machine. The glass ionomer was packed with hand instruments in the cavities and 2min after the first setting the restoration was contoured and the occlusion adjusted.Then the surface was coated with G-coat resin and light cured for 10 sec. The restorations were controlled by 2 independent examiners at baseline, 6-12-18 months and 6 years according to the United State Public Health Service criteria.

OTHER

Riva SC Fuji Varnish

The caries lesions were removed with diamond and stainless steel burs, a sectional matrix was applied for restoring two surface cavities and the restoration was performed with Riva SC in bulk after mixing 10 sec. in the mixing machine. After the first setting of 2min, the restoration was contoured and the occlusion adjusted.Then the surface was coated in 2 layers with Fuji Varnish. The restorations were controlled by 2 independent examiners at baseline, 6-12-18 months and 6 years according to the United State Public Health Service criteria.
