Clinical Trial Summary

This study (a double-blinded, prospective, randomized clinical trial) aimed to evaluate 2-year clinical performance of dual- and light-cure bulk-fill resin composites in Class ӀӀ restorations. The null hypothesis tested in this study was that, there would be no difference in the 2-year clinical performance of all tested bulk-fill resin composites in Class II restorations. Forty patients were enrolled in the study. Each patient received three bulk-fill resin composites Class ӀӀ restorations. One dual-cure and two light-cure bulk-fill resin composites were used for Class ӀӀ restorations following manufacturer's instructions. A universal adhesive was used with all restorations. All restorations were clinically evaluated after 1 week (baseline), 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and finally after 24 months using the FDI World Dental Federation criteria.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Esthetic properties (FDI criteria)	Including five parameters (surface luster, margin staining, surface staining, color match & translucency, and esthetic anatomical form).; Each parameter is exhibited by five scores (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), score 1 is the best outcome.; Three scores for acceptable (1, 2, 3) and two scores for non-acceptable (4 for reparable and 5 for replacement).	From baseline to 2-year follow-up
Primary	Functional properties (FDI criteria)	Including five parameters (marginal adaptation, occlusal wear, proximal contact, radiographic examination, and fracture of material & retention).; Each parameter is exhibited by five scores (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), score 1 is the best outcome.; Three scores for acceptable (1, 2, 3) and two scores for non-acceptable (4 for reparable and 5 for replacement).	From baseline to 2-year follow-up
Primary	Biological properties (FDI criteria)	Including three parameters (post-operative sensitivity, recurrence of caries, and tooth integrity).; Each parameter is exhibited by five scores (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), score 1 is the best outcome.; Three scores for acceptable (1, 2, 3) and two scores for non-acceptable (4 for reparable and 5 for replacement).
