Abstract
Abstract: Until now, dental caries is a major issue in dental health problems. Dental restoration is a conservative effort to reduce caries index. Dental restoration is done by putting the restorative material into cavities that have been cleaned and prepared. Restorative materials vary depending on the location and function of the tooth. Restorative materials that are commonly used in community health centers are amalgam and glass ionomer cement (GIC). This study aimed to determine the description of amalgam and GIC restoration and the reason for using it, as well as evaluating the patients’satisfaction concerning the result of dental restoration at Kalumpang, Central Ternate District. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Total samples were 100 individuals who were selected by using a purposive sampling method. Data retrieval was done by physical examination and questionnaires. The results showed that from the 100 samples, there were 65% who had amalgam restoration and 35% with GIC restoration. It was found that 92.31% of the respondents were satisfied with the result of the amalgam restoration, and 82.86% of the respondents were satisfied with the result of the GIC restoration. Conclusion: The majority of the respondents at Kalumpang, Central Ternate District, were satisfied with the aesthetics, function, strength, and durability of both the amalgam and GIC restoration results. Of those included in the study, only a small percentage of the respondents had their amalgam or GIC restorations at the local community health center at Kalumpang.
