    Abstract:
    AIM: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of three different restorative materials in primary teeth according to the FDI criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement, compomer and composite resin restorations (n=93) were made in 31 patients. The restorations were clinically evaluated at baseline, 6th, 12th and 18th month with the FDI criteria. RESULTS: The cumulative survival rate after 18 months was found to be 90.3% for resin modified glass ionomer cement restorations, 100% for compomer restorations and 80.6% for composite resin restorations. Statistically significant increase in surface roughness, colour mismatch, anatomic form loss and marginal deterioration were detected in resin- modified glass ionomer group (p<0.05). The most frequent reason for restoration failure in composite resin group was restoration fractures. CONCLUSIONS: The resin-modified glass ionomer restorations necessitates close follow-up because of the risk of increase in surface roughness, changes in colour and loss in anatomic form and marginal adaptation. The clinical performance of compomer restorations is superior to resin-modified glass ionomer and composite resin restorations in primary teeth.
