Microleakage Around Resin Composite Restorations
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will be conducted to assess diagnostic predictive values of a light induced fluorescence intraoral camera versus those of the visual-tactile assessment method according to FDI criteria in clinical evaluation the margins of resin composite restorations
Detailed description
Each patient should have at least one resin composite restoration. The restoration will be evaluated by two diagnostic methods. Each examiner will record the dental findings using both the visual- tactile assessment method and the fluorescent-aided identification method. The visual-tactile assessment method includes the use of mirror, FDI probe under good illumination condition, while the fluorescent-aided identification method will be performed by light induced fluorescence intraoral camera then the reliability of each diagnostic tool will be assessed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Repeatability for both diagnostic methods | 20 minutes | Three examiners will record the dental findings of 29 resin composte restorations using both the intervention and control assessment methods. Each method will be repeated twice to calculate the repeatability. The intra-operator agreement will be evaluated using the kappa statistics. |
| Reproducibility for both diagnostic methods | 1 week | Three examiners will record the dental findings of 29 resin composite restorations using both the intervention and control assessment methods. Each method will be repeated after one week interval to calculate the reproducibility. The inter-operator agreement will be evaluated using the kappa statistics. |
