This double blind randomized controlled prospective clinical trial will compare the clinical success of two tooth colored resin composite dental filling materials - TPH3 (Dentsply Caulk) and an experimental urethane dimethacrylate resin based composite resin (Dentsply Caulk) for wear resistance, staining and marginal seal using modified Ryge criteria to evaluate the posterior restorations for 24 months in duration
The purposes of this clinical trial is to evaluate two composite resins used to restore Class I and Class II cavities in teeth of adults. The clinical study will evaluate the resin composite restorations placed in Class I and Class II cavity preparations for anatomic form, color match, marginal integrity, marginal discoloration, proximal contact, polishability, caries, sensitivity, gingival index, staining,wear, and thermal response for 24 months..

Percent of Teeth With Anatomic Form Graded as A or B.
Anatomic form was graded as: A=The restoration is continuous with existing form. B=The restoration is discontinuous with existing anatomic form, but the existing material is not sufficient to expose dentine.
Time frame: 24 months
Percent of Teeth Scored as A or B for Color Match
A=The restoration appears to match the shade and translucency of adjacent tooth structure. B=The restoration does not match the shade and translucency of adjacent tooth structure, but the mismatch is within the normal range of tooth shades and translucency.
Time frame: 24 months
Percent of Teeth With Marginal Integrity Graded A, B1 and B2
A= No visible evidence of a crevice along the margin into which the explorer will penetrate B1= Explorer clicks on the margin B2= Visible evidence of a crevice
Time frame: 24 months
Percent of Teeth With Marginal Discoloration of A or B
A= There is no visual evidence of marginal discoloration different from the color of the restorative material and from the color the adjacent tooth structure. B= There is visual evidence of marginal discoloration at the junction of the tooth structure and the restoration, but the discoloration has not penetrated along the restoration in a pulpal direction.
Time frame: 24 months
Percent of Teeth With Proximal Contact
A= Tight proximal contacts evaluated with dental floss. B= Proximal contacts are weak but present. C= No proximal contacts but not visibly open. NA= Class I restorations
Time frame: 24 months
Percent of Teeth With Polish-ability of A, B1 or B2
A= Smooth \& highly shiny, similar to enamel B1= Smooth \& satin, highly reflective B2= Smooth \& shiny but not highly reflective
