The overall aim of this clinical investigation is to assess the clinical performance and safety of composite restorations cured with fast curing mode (5 seconds with 2000 mW/cm²) in primary molars.
Dental interventions in young children are challenging due to limited compliance and anxiety. Moisture control during the placement of resin composite fillings is particularly difficult, as children need to remain calm. Reducing treatment time benefits both children and dentists. The planned clinical investigation aims to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of posterior restorations on primary teeth using a flowable composite with a fast curing mode (5 seconds, 2000 mW/cm²) compared to a conventional curing mode (10 seconds, 1200 mW/cm²).

Postoperative pain
The assessment of postoperative pain will be done by using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain rating Scale and includes questions about type and duration of pain, intensity of pain and the type of stimulus causing the pain. Values of 0 and 2 in the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale are considered as no pain and values \>2 as pain.
Time frame: 4-10 days after placement of the dental fillings
