Overview
Brief Summary
Adhesively restoring teeth using a resin-based composite and a modern dental adhesive is now considered a reliable, predictable, and durable procedure. However, adhering resin-based composite in conditions of suboptimal field control or complex cavity configurations remains challenging. In addition, the continuing discussions on the clinical use of dental amalgam and the feasibility of a phase out of the use of dental amalgam in the long term has become a central concern for restorative dentistry and has led to strong efforts to develop a substitute material for amalgam. With the goal of clinically shorter application times and lower technique sensitivity, the development of an advanced self-adhesive restorative tooth-colored restorative materials (ASAR) that no longer need pre-treatment with a separate adhesive have been under investigation. The aim of this study is to assess the post-operative sensitivity following restoration of teeth using a self-adhesive tooth-colored restorative material and to assess its clinical performance in comparison with conventional resin-based composite in posterior restorations

Inclusion Criteria
- •Patient is at least 18 years' old
- •Teeth are vital
- •Teeth are periodontal healthy
- •Tooth to be restored in normal occlusion with natural antagonist and adjacent teeth
- •Patient did not receive orthodontic treatment
- •Good level of oral hygiene.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Non-vital or endodontically treated teeth
- •(Profound, chronic) periodontitis

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The post-operative sensitivity.
Time Frame: One month after the treatment.
For the evaluation of post-operative sensitivity, participants will be asked to record whether they experienced sensitivity using a 0-4 numerical rating scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = considerable, and 4 = severe). The patients will be asked to fill in the pain scale forms 24 hours after the restorative procedure and daily up to seven days, and at 2 weeks and 1 month intervals.
Secondary Outcomes
- Clinical performance of the restorations(6 months and 1 year after the treatment.)
