Abstract
Background: Tetric N-Ceram, recently introduced as an alternative to bulk-fill flowable and traditional non-flowable composite. Cention N, recently introduced tooth-coloured filling material for bulk placement in retentive preparations.
Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the performance of Tetric N Ceram and Cention N as restorative materials in Class 1 carious lesions in primary mandibular molars.
Design: A prospective double-blind, split-mouth, parallel-group, randomized study was conducted on 34 patients having bilateral Class I carious lesions on mandibular primary molars. 68 teeth were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 was treated with Cention N and Group 2 with Tetric N Ceram. All restorations were clinically evaluated at Baseline - 24hrs, 3, 6 and 9 months for marginal integrity (MI), secondary caries(SC) and gross fracture(GF) using the US Public Health Service criteria (modified Ryge criteria). For post-operative sensitivity(POS), Wong Bakers faces pain rating scale was used.
Results: Intragroup comparison of MI, SC and GF in Group 1 and group 2 showed non-significant difference at all-time intervals. Intergroup comparison showed non-significant difference for MI, SC, GF and POS at all-time intervals.
Conclusion: Tetric N Ceram and Cention N in terms of MI, SC, GF and POS provide similar results.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
