Absence of Liner Following the Selective Caries Removal (ALFSCaRe)
- Conditions
- Caries; DentinDental Restoration Failure of Marginal Integrity
- Registration Number
- NCT03933176
- Lead Sponsor
- Universidade Federal de Sergipe
- Brief Summary
This randomized, multi-centric, controlled clinical trial will assess the effectiveness of a simplified restorative protocol used after the selective carious tissue removal in posterior teeth presenting deep carious lesions. Only a regular bulk-fill composite will be used in the simplified restorative protocol following the application of universal adhesive. A liner with resin-modified glass ionomer will be used over the pulpal floor before the composite placement in the control group. The longevity of restorative procedures and post-operative sensitivity were defined as the main and secondary outcomes.
