The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of F-Composite 2 system in Class I and Class II cavities in permanent teeth. The materials of the system can be polymerized in short time with a curing light which is part of the system. The study will be carried out as a prospective study, with evaluation of the restorations after 7-10 days (baseline), at 6 months, at 12 months, at 24 months and 60 months according to defined criteria.

Procedures will be done using local anesthesia (if the patients wants that). The cavity is prepared according to the principles of the adhesive technique. First the adhesive will be applied and polymerized, afterwards the flowable resin-based restorative material will be applied and polymerized and then the sculptable resin-based restorative material will be applied and polymerized; all materials will be light-cured within short time with an experimental curing light.

Percentage of Restored Teeth With Postoperative Sensitivity
The postoperative sensitivity is assessed by tests with thermal stimuli and occlusal forces (during biting) determined by VAS (Visual Analog Scale, from 0 "no pain" to 10 "maximum pain") following the FDI criteria on a scale from 1 "very good" to 5 "unacceptable". A maximum of 10% postoperative hypersensitivities are defined as acceptable after one month.
Time frame: 1 month
Number of Restored Teeth With Loss of Vitality
The loss of vitality of restored teeth is assessed by a cold stimuli test (cotton pellet and refrigerating spray) following the FDI criteria on a scale from 1 "very good" to 5 "unacceptable". A maximum of 1 tooth with loss of vitality within 12 months is determined to be acceptable.
Time frame: 12 months
Replacement of Filling
maximum of 3 fillings which have to be replaced due to a lack of quality after 2 years
Time frame: 2 years
