A recent study published in Prilozi (2011, 32(1):283-94;http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21822195) suggests that fluoride-releasing conventional glass ionomer, resin modified glass-ionomer, compomer and glass ionomer cement restorations help to reduce secondary caries in permanent immature and deciduous teeth.

The study, authored by E Giogievska of the

University of Skopje, Macedonia, involved the placement of 270
restorations (135 in deciduous teeth) evaluated per criteria established
by Ryge after one, six, 12, and 18 months.
