Comparative Evaluation of Compressive and Tensile Strength for Glass Ionomer Cement and Cention-N

Introduction: The atraumatic restorative technique is considered to be effective in conserving the remaining tooth structure. In that aspect , various materials like nanofilled glass ionomer cement (GIC), composites are used [1-3]. On comparing the compressive strength and tensile strength , till now glass ionomer cement and amalgam is considered to be the best. The aim of the study is to compare the compressive and tensile strength of new alkasite based filling material.
