Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical performance of a new resin based filling material to an established resin-based filling material in posterior teeth at 2 different study centers.
Detailed Description
The objective of this study is to compare the performance of the composite resin Venus Pearl and a commercially available control composite material for the restoration of class II-cavities. Primary endpoints of the study are a mean score for each patient calculated from aesthetic, functional attribute and biological parameters. Secondary endpoints are the evaluation of secondary caries, plaque accumulation and gingival reactions and the comparison of the primary score at week 1, month 6, month 12 and month 24 after restoration. Beside this, the single components of the three categories of the primary endpoints will be compared. The study will be executed as a multi-center (Oregon Health \& Science University, Portland, OR, USA and Medical School Hannover, Hannover, Germany), single-blinded and randomized clinical investigation. 90 comparable cavities per study site will be treated (45 cavities for each material at each site).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients should be 18 years and older.
- •Study teeth should have an interproximal (Class II) carious lesion or an existing defective class II restoration requiring restorative therapy on premolars or molars.
- •The maximum cavity depth determined by the radiograph will be D2 (Tyas classification).
- •The teeth included in the study need to have a proximal contact with the adjacent tooth and be in occlusion with the opposing dentition.
- •The teeth included in the study should be vital with no signs of pulpal pathology.
- •Patients that report brushing regularly without severe gingival inflammation and/or extensive caries.
- •Patients should have no allergies or systemic diseases which inhibit the treatment.
- •Patients should have voluntary participation and sign a written informed consent form.
- •Patients should be willing to participate in the recall/re-examination appointments.
Exclusion Criteria
