Comparative Evaluation of the Stress of High- and Low-Viscosity Glass Ionomer Filling Materials in Class I and Class II Cavities in Primary Molars Using Finite Element Analysis.
A computer modelling study compared stress distribution in primary molars restored with high- or low-viscosity glass ionomer cements in Class I and II cavities. High-viscosity material generated less stress than low-viscosity material, with Class II cavities producing higher stress levels than Class I in both cases.
