| Expected outcome 1: Satisfactory clinical performance of restorations using low-contraction (bulk-fill) resin composites in posterior teeth, being determined by means of USPHS (Scores Alfa and Bravo) and FDI (Scores 1 and 2). Detection of other scores following these evaluations would mean the failure of these restorations. ;Found outcome 1: The long-term evaluation of the clinical performance of the bulk-fill restorations in posterior teeth showed acceptable results in both USPHS (Only scores Alfa and Bravo were detected) and FDI (Only scores 1 and 2 were detected) evaluation methods. | — |
