Abstract

Conventional caries lesions management is usually based on operative procedures to re-establish the surface integrity and enable efficient dental plaque removal. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of sonic fill composite versus conventional composites in restoration class II cavities in primary molars. Twenty four patients having primary teeth indicated for restoration. Group I: Control group (12 patients) those were received conventional composite restorations for class II cavity. Group II: (12 patients) were received composite restoration (sonic fill) for class II cavity. The patients were evaluated according to FDI clinical criteria. The result revealed that the current study show better surface gloss and lower marginal staining found in sonic fill composite than conventional composite with subsequent advent of bulk fill composites, would seem to be a significant turning point in posterior direct restorative dentistry.
