Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Restorations Scoring Alpha | 12 months | Restorations were scored Alpha, Bravo or Charlie for retention, post-operative sensitivity, anatomic form, margin integrity, color match, stain resistance, and secondary caries. Alpha score = 'excellent' Bravo = 'acceptable' Charlie = 'unsatisfactory'. Total Alpha scores were evaluated for the primary outcome. |
