Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Dental composite systems have been used for 50 years as state of art materials to restore the anterior region. Significant development has occurred regarding the composition and structure of dental composites, improving the longevity of these restorations; however, clinicians are faced with the challenge of selecting the most adequate shade and restorative technique to reproduce missing tooth structure.
Depending on the size of the cavity preparation, a single layer of material or multiple layers might be needed to reproduce dentin and enamel. Different dental composite systems offer multiple body, dentin, and enamel shades. Therefore, clinicians are faced with the challenge of recreating nature using this material. Different devices, such as spectrophotometers have been introduced on the market for shade selection. However, one of the most important aspects when placing anterior composites is the esthetic outcome based on the patient's assessment. Therefore, this study will evaluate the esthetic outcomes of a simplified and a conventional dental composite system based on the provider's and patient's assessment.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
System A
Tokuyama Universal Bond (TUB) single component self-etching 1-step adhesive system w/Tokyuama supra-nanofilled dental composite (ECM) (Tokuyama Dental Corp., Japan), informed consent signed, release of medical information signed, oral exam, health Questionnaire completed and/or updated, xray obtained if needed, pulp vitality testing, Tooth shade determination, photos of teeth, local and/or topical anesthetic applied as necessary, rubber dam isolation, tooth surface cleaned, cavity preparation performed as usual for caries removal, Enamel margins beveled, infinite invisible margins created, adhesive systems applied, dental composite placed, shade selection using Easy Shade 5. Light curing, restoration will be contoured and polished. teeth assessment, clinical assessment
Pulp vitality testing
each tooth will be tested to determine if the pulp of the tooth responds to cold
Photos
Photos of teeth (Photos will be taken with a DSLR camera settings will be determined with optimal settings) and captured periodically throughout the study. Photographs will be made of the cavity preparation. Photographs will be made post-operatively
local and/or topical anesthetic
Local and/or topical anesthetic will be applied as necessary to the teeth or gingiva
rubber dam
The area will be isolated with rubber dam isolation
tooth surface cleaned
The tooth surface will be cleaned with flour of pumice on a prophy cup only, cavity preparation will be performed as usual for caries removal.
enamel margins
Enamel margins will be beveled with a long flame diamond bur (8863.314.012 Komet) at 45 degrees to the external tooth surface to achieve the desired bevel length. Along with the use of the diamond bur, infinite invisible margins will be created by contouring and smoothing with a dark orange Sof-LexTM extra-thin contouring and polishing disc (3M).
Adhesive Systems
Adhesive systems will be applied according to manufacturer's instructions and selective etching of the enamel will be performed. The dental composite will be incrementally placed using a two- layer or one-layer technique based on the cavity size and light-cured (detailed adhesive instruction sheet will be chairside for reference)
cavity preparation
The technique to be used will be determined by the size of the final cavity preparation. For small preparations a one-layer technique will be used. No backing material is necessary for the Tokuyama system, Filtek Supreme Ultra will be determined by manufacturer's wheel. A two-layer technique will be used for a large cavity preparation. Large cavity preparation is defined as being 4mm in length or more and/or at least 2mm in depth.
