Giomer vs Glass Ionomer Cement for ART Occlusoproximal Restorations: a Randomized Clinical Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 182 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Sao Paulo · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 4 Years – 8 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Although the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) is well settled in the literature regarding occlusal-proximal cavities, the longevity of these restorations is still lower when compared to occlusal ones. This factor is often associated with low mechanical properties of glass ionomer cements (GIC). The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of two different materials: an encapsulated GIC - Equia (GC Corp), compared with Giomer (Beautifill Bulk Restorative - Shofu) used as restoratives materials in occlusal-proximal ART restorations of primary molars. Children aged between 4 and 8 years, will be selected in schools in the city of Cerquilho, São Paulo. All restorations will be held following the precepts of the ART and the manufacturer's instructions. The restorations will be evaluated after 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months according to Roeleveld et al. (2006) criteria. To verify the survival of the restorations will be used Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log rank test. To evaluate the association between the clinical variables, Cox regression test will be applied. For the cost analysis will be used analysis of variance. The level of significance for all tests will be considered to 5%.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	ART with Equia	Occlusal-proximal ART restorations in primary molars using Equia (Easy/Quick/Unique/ Intelligent/Aesthetic) will be performed. No local anesthesia will be used. Infected carious tissue will be removed with hand instruments, and the cavities restored with GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement). The cavity will be filled with GIC. After the press-finger technique, the excess of material will be removed and occlusion will be checked.
PROCEDURE	ART with Giomer Beautifil-Bulk Restorative	Occlusal-proximal ART restorations in primary molars using Giomer will be performed. No local anesthesia will be used. Infected carious tissue will be removed with hand instruments, and the cavities restored with Giomer Beautifil-Bulk Restorative and occlusion will be checked.
