Abstract: Objective: To compare the effects of different repair materials on the curative effect and microleakage of elderly patients with root caries. Methods: One hundred and fourteen elderly patients with root caries who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups with 57 cases each. The control group was repaired with light-curing composite resin, and the observation group was repaired with glass ionomer cement. The clinical efficacy, microleakage, periodontal indicators, and inflammatory factor levels in gingival crevicular fluid were compared. Results: The treatment success rate of the control group was 91.22%, which was not statistically different from the observation group's 94.74% (P>0.05). The observation group's microleakage rate was 3.51%, which was lower than the control group's 8.94% (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in GCF volume and GCF probe depth between two groups before repair (P>0.05). After treatment, the GCF volume and GCF probe depth of two groups were higher than those before treatment, and the GCF volume and GCF probe depth of control group were higher than those of observation group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP-2 in gingival crevicular fluid between two groups before repair (P>0.05). After repair, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP-2 in the two groups were significantly increased, and the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP-2 in the control group were higher than those in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Glass ionomer cement repair and light-curing composite resin repair have the same success rate in the treatment of elderly patients with root caries, but the glass ionomer cement repair has a lower rate of microleakage and has a smaller effect on the periodontal indicators and gingival sulcus inflammatory factors.
