Brief Summary   The title of the study is "A Comparative clinical evaluation of a bioactive restorative material versus bulk- fill composite, for a one year- A randomized clinical trial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical performance of bioactive composite with that of conventional bulk fill composite in class I carious lesion of primary molars at the end of year using FDI criteria. Th objective is to assess the clinical performance i.e. functional, esthetic, and biological properties of bioactive bulk-fill composite restoration with that of the conventional bulk -fill composite restoration in class I carious lesion of primary molars using FDI criteria at the end of one year. It is a double blinded randomized clinical trial which consists of two groups i.e. test group and the control group. The total sample size is 42 teeth, each group consists of 21 teeth. The procedure done for the test group is bioactive bulk fill composite placed in class I carious lesion in primary molars, the procedure done for control group is bulk - fill composite placed in class I carious lesion in primary molars. The inclusion criteria include healthy children of age group 5-9 years with a behavior rating scale of 3 and 4 according to Frankl with class I carious lesion, and caries of ICDAS score of 4 and 5. Exclusion criteria include uncooperative children with systemic disease, developmental defects, teeth with discoloration pathological mobility and teeth with pulpal exposure or indicated for extraction. The clinical evaluation of the materials is done by 3, 6, 12 months recall using FDI criteria i.e. functional, biological, esthetic properties.
