This is a randomized-controlled clinical trial to investigate the success rate of two new tooth-colored restorative materials in class I and II cavities over 5 years according to FDI criteria scores (1, 2 and 3).
The primary outcome of the study is the SUCCESS RATE of restorations placed with both filling materials in class I and II cavities after 5 years of clinical service. A failure which leads to repair or replacement of the restoration can have esthetic (marginal staining, loss of anatomical form), functional (i.e. fracture of restoration, loss of retention) or biological reasons (i.e. secondary caries). A restoration is defined as a failure (no success) as soon as at least one FDI criterion is scored as 4 or 5.

Success Rate
assessed following FDI criteria on a scale from 1 "very good" to 5 "unacceptable": e.g. post-operative hypersensitivity, surface lustre, staining, fracture of material, retention, occlusal contour and wear, and colour match of restorations (Success: Scores equal to/above 3)
Time frame: 5 years

Time frame: 6 months to 3 years
Survival Rate
assessed following FDI criteria on a scale from 1 "very good" to 5 "unacceptable": e.g. post-operative hypersensitivity, surface lustre, staining, fracture of material, retention, occlusal contour and wear, and colour match of restorations (Survival: Score equal to/above 4)
