Cention N will have the same clinical performance as resin-modified glass ionomer in cervical carious lesions. Evaluation of restorations will be done at baseline, six months, and one year according (USPHS) criteria.
In this study, Class V carious lesions were restored using two different restorative materials either resin modified glass ionomer or Cention N restorative materials. This study will be held in the restorative clinic at Future University in Egypt. Patients will be assessed for medical and dental histories first. Then an examination of the patients will be done using visual inspection by using a dental mirror and probe. Eligible patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria will be informed about all procedures with follow up time if they accept, 12 their signature on written informed consents will be obtained. Eligible participants will be randomly divided into two groups according to the type of restoration they will be received. The first group (A) will be received resin modified glass ionomer restorative material and the second group (B) will be received Cention N restorative materials. Each restoration will be evaluated for clinical parameters after finishing and polishing at baseline and regular recalls of 6 months and one year. The restorations will be clinically examined according to modified USPHS criteria in terms of marginal adaptation, anatomic form, color match, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity and retention. The information that will be obtained will be collected and statistically analyzed

Alkasite restorative is a category of filling material, like compomer, and is essentially a subgroup of the composite resin. Cention N is a urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA)-based, self-curing powder/liquid restorative with optional additional light curing. The liquid comprises of dimethacrylates and initiators, while the powder contains various glass fillers, initiators, and pigments. It is radio opaque and contains alkaline glass fillers capable of releasing fluoride, calcium, and hydroxide ions. Due to the sole use of cross-linking methacrylate monomers in combination with a stable, efficient self-cure initiator, Cention N displays a high polymer network density and degree of polymerization over the complete depth of the restoration.
The resin-modified glass ionomer materials are hybrid materials of traditional glass ionomer cement with a small addition of light-curing resin, and hence exhibit properties intermediate to the two, with some characteristics superior to conventional glass ionomer materials
