In one group the cavities were restored with Amalgam using standard protocols and in the second group the cavities were restored with Cention N. At 1 week, 3 months and 6 months the restorations were evaluated for parameters specified by modified USPHS Criteria for dental restorations.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study showed that there was no significant difference in the performance of both the materials in the given time frame. It can therefore be concluded that Cention N can be used as an alternate to Amalgam in Class II posterior restorations.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF DENTAL SCIENCES}, author={Minocha, Anshu and Sharma , Vishal and Gupta, Ashu and Sharma, Neha}, year={2021}, month={Feb.} }
