    Nowadays, smile enhancement is considered a high demand to fulfill patient’s smile fantasy. A 30 year old male patient presented to MSA clinics complaining from life time problem of anterior teeth. Clinical examination revealed multiple decayed teeth with old composite restorations, in addition to several missing teeth and remaining roots. Restoration of badly destructed upper anterior teeth was performed by root canal treatment, fiber post, composite core then all ceramic crowns. Upon radiographic examination using panorama and cone beam CT, implant were excluded as a treatment modality to restore posterior teeth so flexible denture was the treatment of choice.

    Flowable GIOMER Vs Conventional Flowable Composite For Retention And Prevention Of Caries Recurrence When Used As Sealants For Initially Demineralized Fissures. A Randomized Clinical Trial
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2022-12) Mostafa, Amr; El Baz, Maha; Taher, Heba; Shabka, Amr
    Aim: to investigate the retention and potential to prevent lesion progression of a bioactive resin material compared to a conventional resin-based flowable composite during management of initial carious lesion in adult population over an 18 months period. Methodology: Twenty-four subjects with an upper or lower molar that has an ICDAS score 1 or 2 on its occlusal surface, were selected for this study. The subjects were divided randomly and equally into two groups. Group I was assigned to be sealed with a nano-filled giomer based sealant (Beautifil Injectable X, Shofu Dental Corp.) while Group II was assigned to be sealed with a nano-filled conventional flowable composite (Filtek z350 XT, 3m ESPE). Both sealants were applied after acid conditioning and the application of a bonding agent. The sealants were then evaluated for retention and caries progression after six, twelve and eighteen months. Results: Most sealants remained in-situ after eighteen months. There was a non-significant difference between the two groups in terms of retention or caries progression. Only one sealant from each group progressed to ICDAS score 3. Conclusions: Both fissure sealants can successfully seal initially carious fissures. The nano-filled giomer flowable composite could be promising as a bioactive fissure sealant.
