Abstract：Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of four methods for repairing root caries in the elderly.Method:240 teeth of 141 elderly patients(≥60 y) with root caries were randomly divided into 4 groups,group A was treated by FX-Ⅱglass ionomer(non-gingival retraction),group B was treated with light cured composite resin(non-gingival retraction),group C was treated with FX-Ⅱglass ionomer(gingival retraction),and group D was treated with light cured composite resin(gingival retraction),the patients were followed up for one year.Result:The successful rate of group A was 83.3%,group B was 81.7%, group C was 86.7%and group D was 96.7%after 1 year.Group D was significantly different from the other three groups(P<0.05),and there were no significant differences between group A,group B and group C(P>0.05).Conclusion:Light cured composite resin with gingival retraction used in margin and subgingival root caries in the elderly is effective.
