Clinical Trial Summary

A clinical trial, comparing two different incrementation techniques in the restoration of proximal caries in permanent posterior teeth . One utilizes a fiber reinforced bulk fill base material, followed by an occlusal nanohybrid capping layer. The other utilizes incremental packing of nanohybrid resin composite material to fill the whole cavity.

Description:

The aim of this study is to conduct an RCT to evaluate the clinical performance of the fiber reinforced bulk fill resin composite in comparison to incremental packing of nanohybrid resin composite.

Examination and selection of all patients will be done according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Diagnosis of patients' chief complaint and teeth that will be involved in this study will be done. Teeth are to be chosen according to standardized radiographic examination. Teeth should have proximal, primary deep carious lesions involving 2/3 of the entire dentin thickness with no continuity between the carious cavity and the pulp chamber.

A Class II cavity will be prepared after local anesthesia has been given as required. The cavity will be prepared using a high-speed hand-piece with air and water coolant and diamond burs of different sizes. Sharp excavators will allow accessible removal of soft carious lesions will be used. Any tooth that will suffer from pulpal exposure will be excluded from the study. Finishing of the cavity walls will be done using a fine-grit, yellow coded, diamond bur.

Rubber dam isolation will be done.

Sectional matricing and wedging will be done. Followed by, placement of restorative material according to the randomization sequence.

A closed centripetal technique will be utilized, where a proximal wall will be built using nanohyrbid resin composite first, followed by filling of cavity with bulk-fill fiber reinforced resin composite material in increments of 3-4mm, as required to end up with leaving an occlusal space on top of at least 2mm. Then, an occlusal increment of nanohybrid resin composite will be applied. Finally finishing and occlusal adjustment will be done under water spray by using superfine diamond burs. Polishing will be done using pre-impregnated rubber cups. Materials will be manipulated according to manufacturer instructions.

A closed centripetal, oblique incrementation technique will be used to completely fill the whole cavity. Increments should be of 2mm thickness or less and should be placed obliquely from the cavity walls. Then finishing and occlusal adjustment will be done under water spray by using superfine diamond burs. Polishing will be done using pre-impregnated rubber cups. Materials will be manipulated according to manufacturer instructions

• Est. primary completion date: September 1, 2021
• Accepts healthy volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
• Gender: All
• Age group: 18 Years to 50 Years

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Patient-related criteria:

• Patients consulting in one of the outpatient clinic listed above.

• Able to tolerate necessary restorative procedures.

• Provide informed consent.

• Accepts the one year follow-up period.

Tooth related criteria:

• Teeth with primary deep carious lesions involving 2/3 of the entire dentin thickness with no continuity between the carious cavity and the pulp chamber.

• Teeth are vital according to pulp-sensitivity tests.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patient-related criteria:

• Medically compromised patients, as they will not be able to attend multiple appointments or may require special management.

• Pregnant women; as radiographs cannot be taken for them.

• Allergy to any of the restorative materials, including anesthetics.

• Uncooperative patients, will not abide by the instructions or attend the appointments.

Tooth related criteria:

• Deciduous teeth; as the study is targeting only permanent teeth.

• Teeth with previous restorations, which may add another variable to the study (type of old restorative material, extent of recurrent caries).

• Spontaneous pain or prolonged pain after sensitivity tests (cold and electrical tests), which would indicate irreversible pulpal damage.

• Negative sensitivity tests, periapical radiolucencies and sensitivity to axial or lateral percussion, which would indicate pulp necrosis.

• Teeth presenting external or internal resorption, with adverse pulpal reactions which may affect the outcome of the study.

• Teeth with cervical caries; which can't be evaluated on periapical radiographs
