Abstract
Regardless of barriers linked to the patient’s age and behaviour, restoring primary teeth can be technically challenging, and researchers have long searched for an appropriate replacement for glass ionomer cement, composites, and silver amalgam that is cost-effective, fluoride-releasing, convenient to use, and fulfils both strength and acceptable aesthetics. An Alkasite is a resin -based modified composite resin restorative material, comprising alkaline fillers responsible for leaching acid-neutralizing ions like fluoride, calcium, and hydroxide ion. This Alkasite Cention-N is available in A2 tooth shade and has advantages of both Amalgam and GIC and provides better aesthetics and high flexural strength with the additional characteristic of optional light-curing.
