Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the 2-year clinical performance of two polyacid-m odified resin composites and two resin-modified glass ionomers in Clas s V carious cavities. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 Class V ca vities were selected and 30 cavities were restored with one of two res in-modified glass ionomer materials (Fuji II LC Improved and Vitremer) and two polyacid-modified resin composites (Dyract and Compoglass) in Class V carious cavities after 2 years. The restorations were clinica lly evaluated after 1 and 2 years using the USPHS criteria. Results: O ne-year findings revealed a significant difference in color match betw een Vitremer and other materials (P < 0.05) and no significant differe nce was found for the other criteria. Two-year results indicated a sig nificant difference between resin-modified glass ionomers and polyacid -modified resin composite materials. The difference between Compoglass and Dyract was not statistically significant whereas the difference b etween Vitremer and Fuji II LC was statistically significant. Caries w as not recorded at any evaluation period.
