The overall objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the clinical safety and performance of the new flowable composite TM Flow and the new sculptable composite TM Fill for restoration of class I and class II cavities. The fillings are assessed according to selected FDI (Fédération Dentaire Internationale) criteria at baseline (7-10 days after placement of filling) and after 1, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 60 months.

Postoperative Hypersensitivity
assessed by tests with thermal stimuli and occlusal forces (during biting) determined by VAS (Visual Analog Scale, 0 "No pain at all" - 10 "The worst pain imaginable") following the FDI criteria on a scale from 1 "very good" to 5 "unacceptable" FDI 1: no complaint FDI 2: minor complaint FDI 3: distinct pain FDI 4: persistent pain for prolonged period of time FDI 5: treatment unavoidable
Time frame: 1 month
Evaluation of Functional (e.g. Fracture of the Material and Retention), Biological (e.g. Caries at Restoration Margins) and Aesthetic (e.g. Color Match) Properties of the Restorations
will be assessed according to FDI criteria (grade 1-5)
Time frame: 5 years
