Aim:
The study aims to assess and contrast the compressive strengths of three aesthetically pleasing restorative materials.
Materials And Methods:
Using metallic molds, 30 pellets were created, then split into 3 groups of 10, each meeting the required specifications. Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) cylindrical specimens are in Group A; Resin Modified GIC (RMGIC) cylindrical specimens are in Group B; and Zirconomer cylindrical specimens are in Group C. A universal testing equipment was used to compress all of the samples, and the results were acquired. Tukey's post hoc test and one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis.
Result:
Zirconomer's compressive strength is significantly higher than that of RMGIC and GIC.
Conclusion:
The compressive strength of Zirconomer is the highest. As a result, Zirconomer may be the preferred material for aesthetic restorative procedures.
