Introduction: Giomers are composed of PRG fillers which in turn contain some ions, in addition to fluoride, which are beneficial to enamel so, it could be used for remineralization. Glass ionomer also contains fluoride and has been a commonly used material for many years. Objective: to analyze information about its chemical composition, physical properties, chemical properties and application of S-PRG technology in comparison with glass ionomer. Methodology: articles were searched in PubMed, Science Direct, Springer and EBSCO. Terms such as S-PRG OR GIOMER, S-PRG AND prevention, glass ionomer AND pediatric dentistry were used. Results: S-PRG has a pre-reactive glass ionomer layer containing reactive ions that acts in contact with water and saliva, thus releasing ions that promote remineralization, bacterial control, etc. It has lower setting shrinkage compared to some ionomers and allows remineralization around the restoration and can be used as a restorative material for primary and permanent teeth. Glass ionomer has an acid-base reaction. By bonding glass ionomer filler to resins, it improves their properties, is successful in the presence of secondary caries and is well accepted as a restorative material after selective removal of carious tissue. Conclusion:Both materials have fluoride releasing and recharging capabilities as well as restorative properties. However, giomer has better esthetic advantages. Further studies are required because giomers are relatively new.
Introduction:The giomers are a family of dental materials that allow a faster effect and better functional, esthetic and mechanical properties. Objective: To analyze the restorative ability between giomer and type II glass ionomer in class I cavities. Methodology: A mouth split design was carried out in which 27 permanent molars ICDAS 4, 5 or 6 were filled with giomer ( 14) and glass ionomer type II (13), respectively, in patients with high or medium caries risk. Intraoral radiographs and polyvinyl siloxane impressions were taken every 3 months. FDI criteria were used to evaluate radiographic success, material fracture, and marginal adaptation. Results: Compared to glass ionomer, giomer had better marginal adaptation at 6 and 9 months (p<0.05), was also better in fracture restoration at 3, 6 and 9 months (p<0.05), and better radiographic success at 6 and 9 months (p<0.05). Conclusions: Giomer has better clinical results in terms of marginal adaptation, radiographic success and fracture of the material than glass ionomer.
Introduction:In Latin America, the prevalence of mesiodens is 1.7%. Mesiodens impacted towards the base of the nostril can cause complications such as: pain, epistaxis, rhino sinusitis, nasal obstruction and congestion and even eruption through the nostril. Case report: A 7-year-old male patient with no clinical pathological data came for consultation due to interference in occlusion caused by a palatine erupted mesiodens. A radiographic finding was a second mesiodens in the anterior maxillary area. Diagnosis: Inverted conical mesiodens near the floor of the nasal cavity. Treatment: Surgical treatment by means of a vestibular incision in the anterior maxillary area. Results: The procedure was performed under local anesthesia, surgical procedure of the impacted tooth, low speed hand piece was used, the dental organ was removed and stitches were placed. Conclusion:Early detection of mesiodens is of utmost importance since timely treatment allows avoiding future complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
