Cuspal Coverage
Brief summary
This clinical study aims to compare bulk-fill and conventional composite resins in cuspal coverage restorations of posterior teeth. The primary outcomes include evaluating wear resistance, fracture incidence, and recurrent caries at different follow-up periods. Bulk-fill composites are designed for easier placement in thicker increments, potentially improving clinical efficiency. The study seeks to determine whether bulk-fill materials can provide comparable or superior performance to conventional composites in restoring structurally compromised teeth.
Interventions
DEVICEBeautifil Bulk Fill (Shofu Inc.)
This intervention involves performing cuspal coverage restorations in posterior teeth using Shofu Beautifil Bulk Fill composite resin. The composite will be applied in a single increment following the manufacturer's adhesive and placement protocol. Each restoration will be evaluated clinically for wear resistance, fracture incidence, and recurrent caries during the follow-up period.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Occlusal Wear | T0: Baseline examination (1 week after restoration) T1: 6 months T2: 9 months T3: 12 months | 0 = No visible wear 1. = Slight wear, no effect on function 2. = Moderate wear, slight anatomical loss 3. = Severe wear needing intervention |
| Fracture Resistance | T0: Baseline examination (1 week after restoration) T1: 6 months T2: 9 months T3: 12 months | 1. = Restoration fully intact 2. = Partially fractured but retained 3. = Completely fractured or lost |
| Caries Recurrence | T0: Baseline examination (1 week after restoration) T1: 6 months T2: 9 months T3: 12 months | 0 = No recurrent caries at restoration margin 1 = Recurrent caries present and continuous with margin |
