Two-year clinical performance of Class V resin-modified glass-lonomer and resin composite restorations

Oper Dent. 2003 Sep-Oct;28(5):477-81.

Abstract

While a one-year report had been previously published, this study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical performance and appearance of a resin-modified glass ionomer and a resin composite over two years. Thirty-seven pairs of restorations of FujI II LC and Z 250/Single Bond were placed in caries-free cervical erosion/abfraction lesions without tooth preparation. Restorations were clinically evaluated at baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months using modified Ryge/USPHS criteria. No statistically significant difference (p = 0.13) was observed in the overall performance of the materials. Retention was 96% for the resin-modified glass ionomer and 81% for the resin composite, with no additional restorations of either material lost after one year. As previously reported, retention of the Z 250 restorations at six months was below the minimum specified in the ADA Acceptance Program for Dentin and Enamel Adhesives. The resin composite restorations generally had a better appearance, with a 100% alpha rating in color match, versus 85% for the resin-modified glass ionomer.
