Abstract:
There appeared difficulties in either cavity preparation of restoration retention when wedge-shaped ditch was restored.In order to choose an ideal material and method restored wedge-shaped ditch,we used three kinds of restorative materials (glass ionomer,light curing glass ionomer,light curing composite resin)and four restorative methods (glass ionomer,light curing glass ionomer,light curing composite resin,glass ionomer mixed with light curing composite resin).carried on clinical observation.According to the results of six months follow-up,four methods have no significant differences in abrasion,fracture,shedding and failing incidence(including of abrasion,fracture,and shedding) through statistical test(chi-square test).According to the results of one year follow-up,there were significant differences in abrasion and failing incidence,but fracture and shedding have no significant differences.Results showed that light curing composite resin was better than glass ionomer in wedge-shaped ditch restoration.
