Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the clinical performance of two restorative materials, ACTIVA and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC), in treating carious primary molars in children over 6 and 12 months.
- Results showed that ACTIVA had significantly better surface texture compared to RMGIC, while marginal discoloration and retention rates were similar for both materials at those time intervals.
- Both materials promote tooth remineralization and have beneficial properties like improved adhesion and fluoride release, making them effective options for dental restorations.
