Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the incidence and intensity of postoperative hypersensitivity in Class V restorations using thermal-evaporative stimulation (air blast), recorded on a numerical rating scale of 0–10 and a visual analog scale

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the clinical performance of restorations in terms of surface staining; marginal discoloration; fracture or loss of material; retention; marginal fit; proximal contact points; shape and anatomical contour; wear; presence of caries or defects in hard tissues at the margin; gloss; surface texture; color matching using World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria; quality of life as measured by the OHIP 14; presence of monomer in saliva by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
