Brief Summary

This double blind randomized controlled prospective clinical trial will compare the clinical success of two tooth colored resin composite dental filling materials - TPH3 (Dentsply Caulk) and an experimental urethane dimethacrylate resin based composite resin (Dentsply Caulk) for wear resistance, staining and marginal seal using modified Ryge criteria to evaluate the posterior restorations for 24 months in duration

Detailed Description

The purposes of this clinical trial is to evaluate two composite resins used to restore Class I and Class II cavities in teeth of adults. The clinical study will evaluate the resin composite restorations placed in Class I and Class II cavity preparations for anatomic form, color match, marginal integrity, marginal discoloration, proximal contact, polishability, caries, sensitivity, gingival index, staining,wear, and thermal response for 24 months..

Exclusion Criteria
  • have severe medical complications (organ transplants, long term antibiotic or steroid treatment, cancer or immunocompromised) or disabilities who may not be able to tolerate the time required to complete the restorations or to provide adequate oral hygiene
  • have xerostomia either by taking medications known to produce xerostomia or those with radiation induced or Sjogren's syndrome patients
  • have chronic periodontitis, rampant caries or poor oral hygiene which may require extraction of the teeth to be restored
  • have a history of chronic bruxism and those unavailable for long term recall
  • can not tolerate the rubber dam required for tooth isolation during preparation and restoration.
  • do not meet all inclusion criteria
  • present with any systemic or local disorders that contra-indicate the dental procedures included in this study
  • have an unstable occlusion
  • have severe bruxing or clenching or need of TMJ related therapy
  • have teeth with periapical pathology or expected pulp exposures
  • have teeth that are non-vital or that exhibit signs of pulpal pathology
  • Pregnancy
  • Known sensitivity to methacrylates and/or acrylates

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent of Teeth With Polish-ability of A, B1 or B224 months

A= Smooth \& highly shiny, similar to enamel B1= Smooth \& satin, highly reflective B2= Smooth \& shiny but not highly reflective

Percent of Teeth Scored as A or B for Color Match24 months

A=The restoration appears to match the shade and translucency of adjacent tooth structure.

B=The restoration does not match the shade and translucency of adjacent tooth structure, but the mismatch is within the normal range of tooth shades and translucency.

Percent of Teeth With Anatomic Form Graded as A or B.24 months

Anatomic form was graded as:

A=The restoration is continuous with existing form. B=The restoration is discontinuous with existing anatomic form, but the existing material is not sufficient to expose dentine.

Percent of Teeth With Marginal Integrity Graded A, B1 and B224 months

A= No visible evidence of a crevice along the margin into which the explorer will penetrate B1= Explorer clicks on the margin B2= Visible evidence of a crevice

Percent of Teeth With Proximal Contact24 months

A= Tight proximal contacts evaluated with dental floss. B= Proximal contacts are weak but present. C= No proximal contacts but not visibly open. NA= Class I restorations

Percent of Teeth With Marginal Discoloration of A or B24 months

A= There is no visual evidence of marginal discoloration different from the color of the restorative material and from the color the adjacent tooth structure.

B= There is visual evidence of marginal discoloration at the junction of the tooth structure and the restoration, but the discoloration has not penetrated along the restoration in a pulpal direction.
