Caries is a highly prevalent disease throughout the world, especially among children, and its consequence is the dissolution of hydroxyapatite. One compound with the ability to prevent or reduce the incidence of caries is fluoride, so restorative materials with the ability to release this compound have been increasingly developed and studied, as is the case with Beautifil II (GIOMER-Shofu); it is part of the GIOMER family of materials. Objective: This material has raised questions about its mechanical properties, as it has different characteristics and compositions from the most commonly used materials, so it is necessary to establish its real properties and benefits when compared to other restorative materials. Methodology: This study aimed to analyze, by means of an in vitro study, the fracture resistance of a resin with fluoride and other ion release properties (Beautifil II), in comparison with two other materials with the same function. Results: Unquestionably, the strength and longevity of restorative procedures are closely linked to the mechanical properties of the material and its ability to prevent secondary caries. Beautifil II resins from the GIOMER family of materials, a bioactive material that enables the recharge and release of multi-functional ions, using S-PRG (Pre-Reacted Glass Ionomer) technology, promote the release of six other types of ions, each with its own properties, in addition to fluoride. Conclusion: Despite the difference in composition, Beautifil II resins compare well with conventional composite resins (Z350 - 3M).
