Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Annual failures rate of the performed restorations, evaluated under the modified USPHS (United States Public Health Service) and FDI (World Dental Federation) criteria, under visual evaluation with direct artificial light, exploratory probe and radiographic examination in all evaluation periodos (6, 12 and 18 months). A annual failure rate of 1 to 3% is expected | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| USPHS criteria (United States Public Health Service): marginal adaptation, color, marginal discoloration, anatomical shape, surface roughness, postoperative sensitivity, secondary caries FDI criteria (World Dental Federation): surface gloss/roughness, surface and marginal staining, color stability and translucency, anatomical shape, fractures and retentions, marginal adaptation, contour and occlusal wear, approximal contact and contour, patients opinion, postoperative sensitivity, recurrent caries, dental fracture. | — |
