Four categories of materials are popular for restoration of slightly to moderately carious pediatric primary teeth: amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer. Practitioners looking for a material to replace dental amalgam for restoration of pediatric Class II areas will find that the most promising and growing technique is using resin-modified glass ionomer.
