title: Restoration of primary molars with Compoglass.
abstract: The initial glass-ionomer cements have become well-known restorative materials and have achieved success in a variety of procedures. The newest generation of glass-ionomer cements contain more resin, have higher cohesive strengths, and are light cured, compared with previous generations. Other fluoride-releasing resins with glass-ionomer properties have been developed, and they are called "compomers." One such recently introduced material is discussed in this article. A clinical case report is presented, illustrating the utilization of this material in the restoration of a mandibular second primary molar.
