Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| For Hypothesis I there is no difference in the clinical performance of ART class II restorations in deciduous teeth with and without additional retentions. For Hypothesis II there is no difference in the clinical performance of ART class II restorations in permanent teeth with additional retentions in comparison with composite resin restorations. ;The criteria for this evaluation will be the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) and the US Public Health Assessment System (USPHS) after six months and one year and two years and three years. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| For Class II ART restorations after six months and one year and two years and three years there will be 95% restoration success. For composite restorations class II after 6 months and 1 year and 2 years and 3 years there will be 97% restoration success. ;In both cases the adopted evaluation criteria will be the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) and the US Public Health Assessment System (USPHS) after six months and one year and two years and three years. | — |
