Effect on Placement Tecnique of Bulkfill Composite
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
bulk tecnique: The bulkfill resin composite was placed bulk tecnique and light cured with the same LED for 20 s by the same operator.
incrementally technique: The bulkfill resin composite was placed incrementally (2mm) and light cured with the same LED for 20 s by the same operator.
Study summary
The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of a bulk-fill composite resin (3M ESPE Filtek Bulk Fill, St Paul, MN, USA) in restorations placed in occlusal cavities by comparing different placement techniques (bulk vs. incremental) using modified USPHS criteria.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- RETENTİON — From baseline to 6 year the change of restorations was evaluated
The retention criterion determines how long a restorative material functions in the oral environment, it is the most important criterion that shows the success of the material. Alpha: The restoration is present. Charlie: The restoration is absent. - Marginal Discoloration — From baseline to 6 year the change of restorations was evaluated
The marginal discoloration that occur at the edge staining restoration boundaries are generally thought to be due to microleakage. Alpha: No discoloration at margins. Bravo: Shallow discoloration, clinically acceptable. Charlie: Deep discoloration clinically unacceptable. - Marginal Adaptation — From baseline to 6 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Marginal adaptation is achieved by fully ensuring the integrity of the tooth-restoration joint border. Alpha: Restoration is closely adapted to the tooth. Bravo: Visible evidence of a crevice along the margin, dentin not exposed, clinically acceptable. Charlie: Explorer penetrates into crevice, dentin is exposed; clinically unacceptable. - Color match — From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Color match is the evaluation of the restoration according to the darkening or lightening of the color, taking into account the tooth tissue surrounding restoration. Alpha:Matches tooth. Bravo: Acceptable mismatch. Charlie:Unacceptable mismatch. - Post-op Hypersensitivity — From baseline to 6 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Determination of sensitivity after restorations are placed. Alpha: Absent. Charlie: Present; clinically unacceptable. - Secondary caries — From baseline to 6 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Secondary caries is the progression of caries in the tooth tissue adjacent to the restorations. Caries formation means restoration failure. Alpha: Absent. Charlie: Present; clinically unacceptable.
