Recently, composite resin with self-etching systems have become widely accepted and used in pediatric dentistry. The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the clinical performance of composite resin with S-PRG filler (Beautifil Kid's resin), which has the ability to release and recharge fluoride. In this study, two types of flowable resin composites with different flowability (Beautifil Kid's Low-Flow type and Zero-Flow) and one type of paste resin composite (Beautifil Kid's Paste) were used. In total, 249 restorations were performed in anterior teeth and primary molars using the three different restorative materials with self-etching systems. Restorations were assessed in eight categories: defluxion, fracture, secondary caries, blow-hole, marginal integrity, marginal discoloration, color change, and attrition. Assessments were done after six months and after one year. There were no significant differences in clinical performance between the three types of Beautifil Kid's resin in all parameters. The clinical performance by cavity forms showed little difference between Class III, IV and V in the anterior primary teeth, but the clinical performance in the primary molars was lower in Class II than in Class I and V.
Clinically, these data demonstrate that the three types of Beautifil Kid's resin are useful as restoration materials for caries of deciduous teeth.
