Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Restoration Percent Success at Day 1
The World Dental Federation (FDI) rates 16 categories on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being "Clinically Excellent" and 5 being "Clinically Poor". Scores 1-3 were considered clinically acceptable while scores 4 and 5 were considered failures. Cases were considered successful if each of the 16 following FDI criteria presented an individual score of 3 or less: A.Esthetic Properties Surface lustre [Item 1] Surface staining [Item 2] Color stability and translucency [Item 3] Anatomic form [Item 4] B.Functional Properties Fractures and retention [Item 5] Marginal adaptation [Item 6] Wear [Item 7] Contact point/food impact [Item 8] Radiographic examination [Item 9] Patient's view [Item 10] C.Biological Properties Postoperative (hyper)sensitivity and tooth vitality [Item 11] Recurrence of caries, erosion, abfraction [Item 12] Tooth integrity [Item 13] Periodontal response [Item 14] Adjacent mucosa [Item 15] Oral and general health [Item 16]

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Polymerization shrinkage remains one of the primary disadvantages of composite resin restorative materials (tooth-colored fillings). To minimize the effects of polymerization shrinkage in the restorative treatment, the 3M ESPE company has developed a composite resin called Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative. Its decreased polymerization shrinkage and properties allow the material to be inserted in one single increment, expediting treatment. This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the performance of the new bulk fill composite resin in Class II (two-surface posterior) fillings.
