Clinical Performance of Zirconia Reinforced GI Versus Conventional Viscous GI in Geriatric Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of Zirconomer Improved GI restoration compared to Conventional viscous GI restoration in geriatric patients with Posterior carious lesions in class I or II cavities

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study will be conducted to determine the clinical performance of the Zirconia reinforced glass ionomer restorations ( Zirconomer improved) under stress bearing posterior area (class I or claa II cavities) in geriatric population in comparison to Conventional viscous glass ionomer restorations (Ketac molar quick Aplicap) using the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria P: Geriatric Patients with posterior Caries lesions I: Zirconia reinforced GI (Zirconomer Improved) C: Conventional viscous GI, (Ketac Molar quick Aplicap) O: The Clinical performance of the Glass Ionomer restorations Using USPHS Criteria
