Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
is marginal integrity of restoration.12 months

Primary outcome is marginal integrity of restoration. It will be assessed by USPHS; score will be recorded according to USPHS criteria (Nassar et al., 2014).

1. MARGINAL INTEGRITY

Alpha (A) Visual inspection and explorer The explorer does not catch when drawn across the surface of the restoration toward the tooth, or, if the explorer does not catch, there is no visible crevice along the periphery of the restoration.

Bravo (B) Visual inspection and explorer The explorer catches and there is visible evidence of a crevice, which the explorer penetrates, indicating that the edge of the restoration does not adapt closely to the tooth structure. The dentin and/or the base is not exposed, and the restoration is not mobile.

Charlie (C) Explorer The explorer penetrates crevice defect extended to the dentino-enamel junction.

Delta (D) Mobile, fractured or missing restoration in a part or total
