RESUMEN
Silver amalgam has become a less attractive dental restorative material for restoration of primary teeth. After many decades of scientific and nonscientific controversy, use of silver amalgam for primary teeth is waning, not because of its mercury content but because dentistry has come up with more suitable materials. This article reviews the development and use of glass-ionomer silver-cermet cements, resin-modified glass-ionomer cements, and polyacid-modified resin composites (compomers) for restoration of primary teeth.

Injection of local anesthetic is not the only method of achieving complete control of pain sensation during restorative dentistry for very young patients. Transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation, also known as electronic anesthesia, can be used solely or in combination with nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation or auditory diversion with music to assure the comfort and safety of some youngsters. This article documents placement of a Class I resin-modified glass-ionomer restoration in a severely carious maxillary primary first molar of a 27-month-old girl. Electronic anesthesia and nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation were used in lieu of an anesthetic injection.

There are problems involving permanent posterior teeth for which the stainless steel crown may provide the most desirable short-term solution. In placing the crown, emphasis should be given to recognition of the wide variation of available crowns, occlusal considerations, the importance of the rubber dam, and the use of a precementation radiograph to confirm margin adaptation of the crown.
