About

The present study aims to evaluate a 2-years clinical performance of sonic-activated bulk-fill resin composite material (sonic fill) in comparison to conventional bulk-fill resin composite (X-tra fill) as posterior restorations. The null hypothesis is that sonic-activated bulk-fill resin composite restoration shows no difference when compared to conventional bulk-fill resin composite in clinical performance over 2-years evaluations based on clinical assessment.

Full description

Restorations will be evaluated 1 week after placement (Baseline - T0), 3 months (T1), 6 months (T2), 1-year (T3) and 2-years (T4) of clinical service by blinded calibrated examiner using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria where score A (Alpha) stands for the clinically ideal restoration. Score B (Bravo) is a clinically acceptable situation except for secondary caries. Score C (Charlie) indicates clinically unacceptable restorations that must be replaced.

The restorations will also be evaluated using revised FDI criteria with five grades for each criterion; scores 1 to 3 indicated clinically acceptable restorations, and scores 4 and 5 summarized clinically unacceptable situations indicating repair (score 4) or replacement (score 5).
