Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time 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
| Measure | Time 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.
