36-Month Clinical Performance of Different Restorative Materials in the Treatment of Root Caries Lesions

The aim of the study was to comparatively assess the 36‐month clinical performance of a micro hybrid resin composite and resin‐modified glass ionomer cement in root caries lesions. Thirty‐three patients with at least two root caries lesions participated in this study. A total of 110 restorations were randomly placed, half using resin composite (Spectrum TPH3) and the other half using the resin‐modified glass ionomer cement (Riva Light Cure). Restorations were evaluated at the baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months. The data were analyzed with Pearson's Chi‐square, Cochran's Q, Friedman tests and Logistic Regression Analysis (p=0.05).
