Three-year performance of a nano-filled resin-modified glass ionomer cement in class II primary molar restorations.

Purpose: To compare the clinical failure rate of two resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs) used for Class II primary molar restorations over a 3-year period.

Methods: Healthy, cooperative children aged 4-8 years with carious, asymptomatic primary molars requiring class II restorations received either nano-filled (Ketac Nano, 3 M ESPE) or regular (Vitremer, 3 M ESPE) RMGIC restorations. These were blindly assessed semiannually for 3 years using the modified USPHS criteria with all-cause failure as primary outcome and failure for each criterion as secondary outcome.

Comparison of resin modified glass ionomer cement and composite resin in class II primary molar restorations: a 2-year parallel randomised clinical trial.

Aim: To compare the 2-year success rates of a Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement (RMGIC) with a composite resin in class II primary molar restorations.

Methods: Healthy, cooperative children aged 4-7.5 years with at least one carious primary molar requiring a class II restoration were included in this parallel randomised trial and allocated on a 1:1 basis to composite resin (Z250, 3M ESPE) or RMGIC (Vitremer, 3M ESPE).

Neurofibromatosis type II dental management, case report, and review of the literature.

Α 30-year-old male with features of Neurofibromatosis type II (NF2) including vision and hearing loss, imbalance, and cranial and peripheral nerve tumors, was referred for dental prosthetic rehabilitation. Treatment plan was established to rehabilitate the patient with periodontal, endodontic treatment, extractions, restorative, and prosthetic procedures. Due to severe vision impairment and hearing loss, special communication methods were required in order to achieve patient's cooperation, mainly utilizing the sense of touch.
