Restorations of primary molars with conventional glass ionomer cement showed increased risk of failure than compomer , resin-modified glass ionomer cement , amalgam , and composite resin .
This study aim ed to compare the longevity of different conventional restorative material s placed in posterior primary teeth .
Clinical evaluation of compomer in primary teeth: 1-year results.
The clinical performance of the compomer Dyract ( L.D. Caulk , Dentsply ) was evaluated and compared with that of the hybrid composite resin Prisma TPH ( L.D. Caulk , Dentsply ) in restorations of 60 bilateral matched pairs of primary teeth . After 1 year , the overall failure rate for both restorative material s was 1.7 percent . There were no statistically significant differences in recurrence of caries , color matching , marginal integrity or anatomic form . The only statistically significant differences were in marginal discoloration and wear , where the compomer was inferior to the hybrid composite resin . The authors conclude that compomer is a suitable alternative to amalgam for restoring primary teeth
