About this trial

This study will evaluate the clinical performance, Streptococcus mutans count, and salivary pH for Cention-N, Zirconomer, and resin-modified glass ionomer in Class I restoration of primary molars.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Children aged between 4-9 years.

Children who have Class I lesions in both the maxillary and mandibular arches.

Primary molar teeth had class I carious lesions in occlusal pits and fissures; the gap between intercuspal surfaces should not be exceeded during cavity preparation.

Primary molars free of periapical pathosis.

Disqualifiers

Primary molars with preapical pathosis or hypersensitivity.

Primary molars with periodontal diseases or mobile molar tooth that indicated for extraction.

Nonfunctioning teeth with no opposing dentition; heavy occlusion or signs of severe attrition; and endodontically treated teeth.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Clinical Performance of Restorations

Evaluation of the clinical performance of restorations using modified USPHS (FDI) criteria. It systematically grades how restorative materials (like composite resins, glass ionomers, and ceramics) perform in the mouth over time

Time frame
6 months post-restoration

Secondary outcomes

1

Streptococcus Mutans Count

Assessment of Streptococcus mutans bacterial count in saliva/plaque samples expressed in CFU/mL will be recorded.

Time frame
6 months post-restoration
2

Salivary pH Level

Salivary pH changes will be measured using a digital pH meter.

Time frame
6 months post-restoration
