RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The authors retrospectively evaluated the clinical performance of one resin-modified glass ionomer cement as a restorative material in Class I, Class II, Class III and Class V restorations in primary teeth. METHODS: A total of 306 patients who had received a total of 864 resin-modified glass ionomer restorations, which had been in their mouths for a minimum of three years, were included in this evaluation. The authors assessed the clinical observations recorded in patients' records and used bitewing radiographs to assess Class II restorations. RESULTS: The authors found an overall restoration success rate of 93.0 percent, with Class I restorations having a 92.6 percent success rate, Class II restorations having a 93.3 percent success rate, Class III restorations having a 100 percent success rate, and Class V restorations having a 98.0 percent success rate. CONCLUSIONS: The resin-modified glass ionomer cement functioned well as a Class I, Class II, Class III and Class V restorative material in primary teeth. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Resin-modified glass ionomer restorative cement is a durable and reliable material to use for Class I, Class II, Class III and Class V restorations in primary teeth. Therefore, dentists have a proven alternative to silver amalgam and resin-based composite for primary tooth restoration.

A single step etch/primer that can be used for bonding orthodontic brackets with virtually any light polymerized resin-based composite bracket adhesive material that has been introduced. Clinical trials have shown it to be especially useful in re-bonding detached metallic or ceramic brackets, and for bonding brackets to fluorosed enamel. This technique report describes the PROMPT L-POP* system and demonstrates its use.

A self-etching adhesive agent for bonding polyacid-modified resin-based composite materials ("compomers") to enamel and dentin is now available. The Prompt L-Pop system simplifies and hastens dental bonding procedures and has proved itself useful in many adhesive dentistry applications. This article describes the bonding system and shows clinical examples of its use in children and teenagers. The concept will have further application in adhesive dentistry with introduction of a new formulation of Prompt, to be used with traditional resin-based composite materials.

BACKGROUND: The authors retrospectively evaluated the clinical performance of a resin-modified glass ionomer cement as a Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class V restorative material in primary teeth. METHODS: Three hundred and six patients that had received 864 resin-modified glass ionomer restorations, which had been in the mouth for a minimum of three years, were included in this evaluation. RESULTS: The results demonstrated an overall 93.4 percent restoration success rate, Class I restorations presenting a 92.6 percent success. Class II restorations presenting a 93.4 percent success, Class III restorations presenting a 100 percent success and Class V restorations presenting a 98 percent success, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The resin-modified glass ionomer cement functioned well as a Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class V restorative material in the primary dentition. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement restorative material functions well for Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class V restorations in primary teeth.

Enamel microabrasion is a proven method of removing superficial intrinsic enamel discoloration defects. The method is safe, easily performed, and causes no discomfort for the patient. A new commercially available microabrasion system has been introduced by Ultradent Products Inc. In addition, a new tooth isolation material is available, along with a visible light-activated in-office hydrogen peroxide solution. This article describes these new products and documents tooth-color correction for two young patients using this new tooth-color correction approach.

PURPOSE: To describe and picture a technique for using a resin-bonded sealant reinforced by inclusion of resin-based composite, before polymerization. METHOD: Using an extracted mandibular molar, embedded in plaster and isolated with a rubber dam, a step-by-step depiction of the technique is shown. RESULTS: A picture of a six-year-old sealant in a first permanent molar, still in perfect condition, is shown. CONCLUSION: This technique offers a reliable method for treating pits and fissures.
