Compomers, such as Hytac and Dyract, demonstrate excellent clinical performance as class II restorations in primary teeth. These materials offer a suitable alternative to amalgam, even in high-caries populations.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Amalgam alternatives are crucial for class II restorations in primary teeth.
  • Glass ionomers, composites, compomers, and resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGI) are available options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the 24-month clinical performance of two compomers: Hytac and Dyract.
  • To compare compomer performance against other intracoronal restorative materials.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical evaluation of Hytac and Dyract as class II restorations in primary teeth.
  • Long-term assessment of restorative material efficacy over 24 months.

Main Results:

  • Hytac and Dyract exhibited strong clinical performance over 24 months.

  • Compomers showed comparable results to other restorative materials.
  • A low failure rate was observed, even in a high-caries patient group.

    • Conclusions:

    • Compomers are a viable and effective alternative to amalgam for class II restorations in primary teeth.
    • The suitability of compomers is confirmed, even for children with high caries rates.
