| Open Access | A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL EVALUATION OF ALKASITE-BASED VS. GLASS IONOMER CEMENT IN PRIMARY DENTITION: FDI CRITERIA ANALYSIS
D. Patwardhan , Senior Lecturer, Department of Pedodontics, Panineeya Dental College, Hyderabad, IndiaAbstract
This study presents a comparative clinical evaluation of Alkasite-based cement and Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) in primary dentition, utilizing FDI criteria for assessment. Alkasite-based cement is a newer material gaining attention in dental applications, purportedly offering improved properties over traditional GIC. The research evaluates parameters such as retention, marginal integrity, secondary caries formation, and overall clinical performance using standardized FDI (Fédération Dentaire Internationale) criteria. The findings aim to provide evidence-based insights into the effectiveness and suitability of Alkasite-based cement compared to GIC in pediatric dental care.
