ClinConnect Summary

Glass Carbomer is a monomer free; carbomised nano-glass restorative cement developed from traditional glass ionomer cement (GIC) and contains nano-sized powder particles of hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite. These materials claim to have improved mechanical properties and better bonding to dentin, in addition to continues fluoride release.

The study is a randomized controlled clinical trial where teeth will be randomly assigned to one of the three restoration groups.

Following medical and dental history, bilateral bitewing radiographs will be taken for each patient to assess the presence of...
