Restoration failure (primary dentition) · People with dental caries in primary teeth (mainly children)
ART using high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (H-GIC), hand… may leads to higher restoration failure (primary dentition) compared with conventional treatment using H-GIC (rotary instruments) (low certainty).
