Clinical Assessment: Short Term Retention of Giomer and Compomer Restorations in Class V Non-Carious Cervical Lesions

Abstract

Objective: To compare the retention rate of giomer and compomer in Class V restorations in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). Materials and methods: In this experimental study patients with non-carious cervical lesions were divided in to two groups (Group A and B). In group A (n=60), restoration was done with Giomer type of material and in group B (n=60) Compomer type of material was used for filling by the same operator. Cvar & Ryge Criteria were used to evaluate the retention of both materials as: Alpha (restoration fully retained), Bravo (restoration partially retained) and Charlie (restoration completely missing) at follow-ups 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th months. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 17. Results: Males were 72% and females were 28%. The Mean age was 30.62 ±3.89 ranges from 13–85 years. Charlie score was observed at 5th and 6th months. The comparison between Giomer and Compomer at follow-up of 1st, 2nd, 4rd, 4th, 5th and 6th showed no statistical difference. Conclusion: Giomer and compomer both have same retention rate in clinical trials.
