Clinical Evaluation of a Self-Adhering Flowable Composite in Class I Cavities

Overview

The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term clinical performance of a self-adhering flowable resin composite in comparison with a conventional flowable resin composite used with an etch\&rinse adhesive system in minimally invasive class I cavities. Twenty-five patients will receive at least one pair of class I restorations. After class I cavities were prepared they were restored either with a self-adhering flowable resin composite (VertiseFlow/Kerr-VR) or with a flowable resin composite (Luxaflow/DMG-LX) in combination with an etch\&rinse adhesive (Teco/DMG) \[according to the manufacturers' instructions. Restorations will be evaluated at baseline and yearly according to FDI criteria by two evaluaters. Statistical analysis will be carried out with Pearson Chi-Square test and Cochran Q-test followed by Mc Nemar's.
