A clinical trial comparing the efficacy of a glass polyalkenoate cement (GPC) restoration with an amalgam cement restoration (ACR) in the management of caries in the deciduous molar dentition was undertaken. Two hundred and thirty-eight restorations, that is 119 pairs, were placed in 76 patients with an age range of 5 to 11 years. The durability of these restorations was assessed during a 5-year follow-up period, using modified United States Public Health Service criteria. The glass polyalkenoate cement restorations occupied 16% of the occlusal surface of the tooth compared to 28% for the amalgam restorations, had a lower median survival time (33.4 [SE 2.26] months compared to 41.4 [SE 2.24] months) and underwent greater loss of anatomical form and marginal integrity than the paired amalgam controls.
