The authors conducted a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the clinical performances of a glass-ionomer cements in root caries. The materials consisted of 100 restorations, which were placed in the permanent teeth of 48 adult patients. The root caries lesions were restored in the1st group with glass-ionomer cement Fuji IX GP (GC) – 50 restorations, in the 2nd group with glass-ionomer cement Vitremer (3M ESPE) - 50 restorations. Two examiners whose technique had been calibrated evaluated the restorations using U.S. Public Health Service-Ryge modified criteria (in which Alfa is the highest rating) at 12 month. After follow-up of 1 year the assessors recorded only Alfa and Bravo scores. The results of the Ryge criteria for groups between group 1 and group 2 for Alfa ratings were as follows: anatomical form – 80/78 (%), marginal adaptation 94/92 (%), secondary caries 100/100 (%), surface roughness 90/76 (%), marginal discoloration 94/92 (%), color match 88/28 (%), hypersensitivity 100/100 (%). The parameter secondary caries and hypersensitivity were scored Alpha for all teeth. Between groups statistical significant differences could be detected for color match (p<0,05). The one-year results indicated that clinical effectiveness of glass-ionomer cement restoration was high in both two groups.
