The beneficial of resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) restorations in caries inhibition may be questioned due to F-dentifrice use and ageing of the restorations. Objective: To evaluate the effect of an ageing process on caries around cemento-enamel junction restorations in the presence of fluoride from RMGIC or dentifrice. Methods: A randomized double-blind crossover in situ study was performed in 2 phases of 14 days. Sixteen volunteers wore palatal devices containing dental slabs restored with composite resin (CR) or RMGIC, either aged or unaged. The slabs were exposed to a 20% sucrose solution, 10x/day and the volunteers used a non-F or an F-dentifrice 3x/day. The biofilm formed over the slabs was analyzed to determine the counts of total streptococci, mutans streptococci and lactobacilli as well as F-concentration. Results: Enamel demineralisation was determined by cross-sectional microhardness (CSMH) at the margin of the restoration. Kruskal–Wallis and factorial ANOVA, followed by Tukey test, were used to data evaluation (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in the cariogenic microbiota. F-concentration in biofilm was higher for RMGIC restorations. For enamel, higher demineralization around CR restorations was observed regardless dentifrice or ageing process. For dentine, higher demineralization was observed around aged RC restorations without F-dentrifice use. Conclusions: These results suggest that RMGIC restorations provided protection against secondary caries either for enamel and dentine, while ageing process affects caries development in dentine, increasing caries progression.
