Interventions
Composite resin restorations using the '
Clear Index Technique'
. The '
index technique'
is a restorative technique in which a clear index (transparent mould) is used, the flowable composite resin is loaded into the required area between the dentition and the dentition, and light-cured us

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of dimensional accuracy in composite resin restorations using the clear index technique in the experimental group and the conventional method in the control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluating treatment time: measurement of the time required to treat composite resin restorations. Esthetic assessment: surface gloss, colouration, tone and transparency, aesthetic anatomical morphology, material fracture and retention, etc. Assessment of functional properties: margin fit, wear, patient opinion, presence of hypersensitivity, etc. Assessment of biological characteristics: secondary caries, condition of periodontal tissue, condition of mucosa, oral and systemic health. | — |
