Interventions

Study design, characteristics and location of data collection: This study will be a prospective, longitudinal, randomized, double-blind (examiner and volunteer) split-mouth clinical trial, with a 24-m
I: restoration using flowable resin composite resin with high filler content
C: restoration with resin composite with conventional viscosity
O: clinical performance according to FDI criteria. The research question was: Do restorations made using flowable resin composite perform similarly to restorations made with conventional resin, accord
large cavities or deficient restorations with similar dimensions, cavities involving the same number of tooth surfaces
presence of antagonists and opposing teeth making contact, vital pulp
good oral health
aged between 18 and 70 years and both genders. Exclusion criteria will be: very deep carious lesions
crowns that are impossible to restore directly
accidental pulp exposure during caries removal
teeth previously submitted

Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 70 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Two posterior teeth needing restorations in the same patient (class II); large cavities or deficient restorations with similar dimensions, cavities involving the same number of tooth surfaces; presence of antagonists and opposing teeth making contact, vital pulp; good oral health; aged between 18 and 70 years and both genders

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Very deep carious lesions; crowns that are impossible to restore directly; accidental pulp exposure during caries removal; teeth previously submitted to direct pulp capping; teeth with spontaneous or constant pain, indicative of irreversible pulpitis; severe systemic disease; allergy to restorative materials; periodontal disease; bruxism; deleterious parafunctional habits; history of hypersensitivity in the teeth to be restored

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the clinical success of the restorations after 24 months, using the method proposed by the International Dental Federation, which consists of assigning scores according to biological (six criteria), functional (six criteria) and esthetic (four criteria) properties. For each criterion, the scores clinically excellent, clinically good, clinically satisfactory, clinically unsatisfactory or clinically poor may be applied. The scores excellent, good and satisfactory will be grouped together as Acceptable “Overall Score” and will represent the clinical success of the restoration. The scores unsatisfactory and poor will be grouped as Unacceptable “Overall score” and will signify restoration failure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the clinical success of the restorations after 12 months, using the method proposed by the International Dental Federation, which consists of assigning scores according to biological (six criteria), functional (six criteria) and esthetic (four criteria) properties. For each criterion, the scores clinically excellent, clinically good, clinically satisfactory, clinically unsatisfactory or clinically poor may be applied. The scores excellent, good and satisfactory will be grouped together as Acceptable “Overall Score” and will represent the clinical success of the restoration. The scores unsatisfactory and poor will be grouped as Unacceptable “Overall score” and will signify restoration failure.
