About

The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of a bulk-fill composite resin (3M ESPE Filtek Bulk Fill, St Paul, MN, USA) in restorations placed in occlusal cavities by comparing different placement techniques (bulk vs. incremental) using modified USPHS criteria.

Full description

A total of 50 patients (n=108), each with two or four occlusal cavities having a depth of at least 4 mm, were randomly assigned to two groups. A bite-wing radiograph was taken for each tooth. The Single Bond Universal Adhesive (3M, ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA) was applied using the selective-enamel-etch mode. One tooth from each patient was restored using the bulk technique while the other was restored using the incremental technique. All restorations were placed by a single operator. Two experienced and calibrated examiners who were blinded to the placement technique evaluated the restorations at one week and subsequently at 6-, 12-, 24-, 36-, and 48-month follow-ups according to modified USPHS criteria. Spontaneous post-operative sensitivity was assessed through restorative procedures up to 24 hours post-treatment, as well as one week and six months later utilizing a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The chi-square test was employed for comparing both restoration techniques within each category (p<0.05).
