There is difference between composite and GIC are as follows-<\/strong>
\u2981 The composite is a restorative material bonds with the tooth mechanically while GIC bonds chemically with the tooth.
\u2981 Composites are available in different shades according to tooth color. But GIC is available only in few shades.
\u2981 Strength wise composite is stronger than GIC.
\u2981 Both composite and GIC are good material for filling your back teeth and are commonly used.
\u2981 The choice depends on what type of cavity you have in your tooth.
\u2981 If it is a small cavity then GIC can be used.
\u2981 If the cavity is a bit more-deeper than you may need to use a stronger material like resin- modified GIC or a composite.
\u2981 Composite is usually used for front teeth where the color is important, as it is available in different shades<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indication of GIC-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Restoration of erosive\/abrasive lesions without cavity preparation.<\/li>
  2. Sealing and filling of occlusal pit and fissures.<\/li>
  3. Restoration of primary teeth.<\/li>
  4. Restoration of Class V carious lesions.<\/li>
  5. Restoration of Class III carious lesions, preferably using lingual approach.<\/li>
  6. Repair of defective margins in restorations.
    \u2981 Minimal cavity preparations in a proximal lesions through buccal and occlusal approach<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Indication of composite-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Primary caries followed by tooth discoloration, tooth fracture and erosion for both genders.<\/li>
    2. While the principal reason for the replacement of composite restorations was secondary caries followed by tooth discoloration, loss of filling.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Difference between procedure of composite and GIC-<\/strong>
      \u2981 In GIC filling, manipulation is needed.
      \u2981 Mix powder and liquid in proper ratio with plastic spatula in restorative consistency then apply on tooth.
      \u2981 While in composite filling we have to use etching material, bond and light curing.
      \u2981 Isolation is important in composite because they don\u2019t tolerate even a bit moisture.
      \u2981 When tooth may in a contact with saliva or water then bond does not attach to tooth properly therefore it may cause failure in a composite filling.
      \u2981 GIC is ideal for the pre-cooperative or uncooperative child as well as the high caries risk child. Because ability to bond chemically is difficult in children.
      \u2981 Therefore, GIC is better material than composite in children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
