The aim of this study is to evaluate the survival rate of restorations made with two high-viscosity glass ionomer cements (Fuji IX, GC and Ketac Molar Easy Mix, 3M) applied as a restorative material using the atraumatic restorative technique (ART) in Class II cavities of primary molars, assessed five months after placement. The research is experimental and quantitative in nature. The initial sample consisted of 22 pediatric patients with 27 Class II cavities to be treated, aged between 5 and 9 years, with active carious lesions located on the proximal surfaces of primary molars. However, the final sample included 19 patients with a total of 25 restorations. Clinical diagnosis was performed using the international caries detection and assessment system ICDAS. For the assessment of glass ionomer restorations, the criteria of Frencken and Holmgren were applied. For statistical analysis, Chi-square tests, Relative Risk, and Odds Ratio were used. From the aforementioned tests, it is concluded that the risk of achieving a “satisfactory” outcome is slightly higher when using Fuji IX, GC compared to Ketac Molar, 3M. Although the statistical analysis suggests that the risk of obtaining a satisfactory result is slightly greater for Fuji IX, GC compared to Ketac Molar, 3M, the observed differences are not statistically significant.
