Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients presenting with proximal Class II carious lesions (MO or DO) in posterior maxillary or mandibular teeth. Teeth indicated for direct composite restoration. Teeth with vital pulp showing no clinical or radiographic signs of irreversible pulpitis. Teeth with normal response to pulp sensibility testing using an electric pulp tester (EPT). Teeth with adequate remaining tooth structure to allow conservative Class II cavity preparation. Patients willing to participate in the study and who provided written informed consent. Patients able to tolerate rubber dam isolation and routine restorative procedures.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Teeth with signs or symptoms of irreversible pulpitis or pulpal necrosis (spontaneous pain, lingering pain, no response to EPT). Teeth with periapical pathology evident on radiographic examination. Teeth with extensive carious destruction requiring indirect restorations (inlays, onlays, or crowns). Previously restored teeth with proximal restorations in the same surface. Teeth with cracks, fractures, developmental defects, or structural anomalies. Patients with poor oral hygiene or high caries risk that could compromise restoration longevity. Patients with parafunctional habits such as bruxism or clenching. Patients with known allergy or hypersensitivity to resin-based dental materials. Medically compromised patients or those with systemic conditions contraindicating routine dental treatment. Pregnant or lactating women (if radiographic exposure was considered).
