Abstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The ‘Basic filling materials’ Amalgam and
glass ionomer have been well accepted for posterior restorations, but
have multifarious drawbacks such as low flexural strength, surface wear,
porosity of glass ionomer cements, intrinsic grey unaesthetic appearance
of amalgam, its inability to bond tooth and concerns about mercury
content. Hence, newer materials were introduced in the market with
better biomechanical properties. The present study aimed to evaluate and
compare the compressive… Show more
