5-year Clinical Follow-up of Restorative Materials

Selcuk University192 enrolled

Overview

Materials to be used as permanent filling materials in Class II restorations are still an essential field of study. This study aims to evaluate the 5-year clinical performance of Class II restorations performed with different bulk-fill restorative materials. The study was planned as an observational clinical trial. In the study, Class II restorations performed with Tetric Bulk Fill (TBF) and Filtek Bulk Fill (FBF) composites and Equia Forte Fil (EF) will be evaluated. Fifty-one patients and 119 restorations will be included in the study. Restorations will be assessed in terms of modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria during the 5th year. Cochran Q, Pearson chi-square, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests will be used for statistical analysis.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Retention

At the control appointment, it was determined whether there was material loss in the restoration. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result.

Time frame: 5th year.

Color Match

At the control appointment, it was determined whether the restoration's color harmony with the adjacent tooth tissue was maintained. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result.

Time frame: 5th year.

Marginal Adaptation

At the follow-up appointment, it was determined whether there was any deterioration in the marginal adaptation of the restoration. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result.

Time frame: 5th year.

Marginal Discoloration

At the control appointment, it was determined whether there was any color change at the edges of the restoration. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result.

Time frame: 5th year.

Secondary Caries

At the follow-up appointment, it was determined whether there was any decay under the restoration. The scale used includes the characters A and C. A is the best clinical result.

Time frame: 5th year.

Surface Texture

At the control appointment, it was determined whether the restoration surface had a defect. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result.

Time frame: 5th year.

Anatomical Form

At the control appointment, it was determined whether the restoration maintained its anatomical form. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result.

Time frame: 5th year.

Postoperative Sensitivity

At the follow-up appointment, it was determined whether there was postoperative sensitivity after the restorative procedure. The scale used includes the characters A, B, and C. A is the best clinical result.

Time frame: 5th year.
