Class II Dental Caries, Dental Caries
Conditions
Brief summary
Materials to be used as permanent filling materials in Class II restorations are still an essential field of study. This study aims to evaluate the 5-year clinical performance of Class II restorations performed with different bulk-fill restorative materials. The study was planned as an observational clinical trial. In the study, Class II restorations performed with Tetric Bulk Fill (TBF) and Filtek Bulk Fill (FBF) composites and Equia Forte Fil (EF) will be evaluated. Fifty-one patients and 119 restorations will be included in the study. Restorations will be assessed in terms of modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria during the 5th year. Cochran Q, Pearson chi-square, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests will be used for statistical analysis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Retention | 5th year. | At the control appointment, it was determined whether there was material loss in the restoration. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result. |
| Color Match | 5th year. | At the control appointment, it was determined whether the restoration's color harmony with the adjacent tooth tissue was maintained. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result. |
| Marginal Adaptation | 5th year. | At the follow-up appointment, it was determined whether there was any deterioration in the marginal adaptation of the restoration. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result. |
| Marginal Discoloration | 5th year. | At the control appointment, it was determined whether there was any color change at the edges of the restoration. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result. |
| Secondary Caries | 5th year. | At the follow-up appointment, it was determined whether there was any decay under the restoration. The scale used includes the characters A and C. A is the best clinical result. |
| Surface Texture | 5th year. | At the control appointment, it was determined whether the restoration surface had a defect. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result. |
| Anatomical Form | 5th year. | At the control appointment, it was determined whether the restoration maintained its anatomical form. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result. |
| Postoperative Sensitivity | 5th year. | At the follow-up appointment, it was determined whether there was postoperative sensitivity after the restorative procedure. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result. |
