Atraumatic restorative treatment restorations performed with high-viscous GIC present similar survival/success rates to conventional approach using composite resin or amalgam for occlusoproximal restorations in primary teeth and can be suggested as a good option for occlusoproximal cavities in primary molars .
BACKGROUND Atraumatic restorative treatment ( ART ) has demonstrated good longevity when used for single-surface restorations , but lower success rates are reported for occlusoproximal surfaces .
AIM This systematic review and meta- analysis aim ed to verify the pooled success rate of  occlusoproximal ART restorations in primary teeth considering the outcomes : longevity , pulp damage , or caries lesion progression .
Ketac Molar Versus Dyract Class II restorations in primary molars: twelve month clinical results.
The aim of the present clinical study was an in vivo evaluation of an improved conventional glass ionomer cement Ketac Molar ( ESPE ) , compared to a polyacid modified composite resin , Dyract ( Dentsply/De Trey ) , used in primary molars . Fifty-three Ketac Molar and fifty-two Dyract restorations were placed in box-only preparations in primary molars . The application time for the chemically cured Ketac Molar , was longer compared to the light-cured Dyract . In comparing the material s , no differences were found , comparing both material s regarding secondary caries , marginal adaptation , wear and fracture toughness . One case of recurrent caries adjacent to a Ketac Molar restoration and two cases in the Dyract group were reported . Two Ketac Molar restorations and one Dyract showed bulk fracture at the time of evaluation . At the twelve-month evaluation , no difference between the investigated material s was registered , which indicates that Ketac Molar can be used as a proximal restoration in the primary dentition . It should be emphasized , however , that one-year data should not be extrapolated to indicate the long-term success of restorations
