Clinical Trial of a New Glass Ionomer for an Atraumatic Restorative Treatment Technique in Class I Restorations Placed in Latvian School Children

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a new glass ionomer filling material (ChemFlex™) using the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach in class I cavities in the permanent dentition of Latvian schoolchildren. Methods: A total of 63 fillings (40 test and 23 control) were placed using the ART technique in 41 schoolchildren in Riga at the Stomatology Institute of the Medical Academy of Latvia. These fillings were then blindly assessed after 2 years. Results: The complete su… Show more

“…In vivo longitudinal clinical trials using nationally produced GICs are few [39,40] and the present study compared the Brazilian Maxxion R ® material with the gold standard Ketac Molar ® and verified that Ketac Molar ® had much better result regarding the retention of the material when evaluated six and eight months after application. Unlike this study, which presented better results for one of the materials analyzed, a study carried out in Latvia analyzed for two years the sealing of class I cavities with Chem-Flex™ glass ionomer.…”

“…Before maximal benefit of the treatment can be ascertained, it has been suggested that the appropriateness of ART should also be tested in populations with high caries risk and among patients with rampant caries [20,21]. However, only two such studies with small sample sizes have been reported from industrialized countries [22,23].…”
