Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This retrospective study aims to evaluate the clinical performance of posterior multi-surface Class II amalgam (AM) and resin composite (RC) restorations placed by dental students over a five-year period.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the clinical performance of posterior multi-surface Class II amalgam (AM) and resin composite (RC) restorations placed by dental students over a five-year period. Materials and Methods: A total of 119 multi-surface Class II restorations (three or more surfaces) placed by third and fourth year students will be evaluated (AM: n = 69 and RC: n = 50). Restorations were assessed clinically according to the USPHS criteria by two independent evaluators using mirrors and probes. Data will be analyzed using Chisquare, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests at a 0.05 level of significance.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1- Amalgam restorations

Multi-surface amalgam restorations performed by dental students and are in function for about 5 years.

Retrospective evaluation of amalgam and composite restorations

Intervention Type OTHER

Multi-surface restorations that were performed by dental students and that are in function for the last five years will be clinically evaluated with mirrors and probes according to the modified USPHS criteria.

Group 2- Composite restorations

Multi-surface composite restorations performed by dental students and are in function for about 5 years.

Retrospective evaluation of amalgam and composite restorations

Intervention Type OTHER

Multi-surface restorations that were performed by dental students and that are in function for the last five years will be clinically evaluated with mirrors and probes according to the modified USPHS criteria.
