Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate the clinical performance of self-adhesive bulk-fill composite resin in the restoration of occlusal and occluso-proximal lesions in primary molars with hypothesis that there is no difference in the clinical performance of self-adhesive bulk-fill composite and traditional bulk-fill composite with adhesive over one year observation period

Detailed Description

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

Protocol of clinical procedure:After psychological management and preparation of the child, local anesthesia was administered in order to prevent pain upon cavity preparation and maintain the child's cooperation. Involved teeth were isolated using a rubber dam (DuraDam, Klang, Selangor D.E.,Malaysia). All cavities were cleaned and prepared using a high speed carbide bur (#330, MANI Inc, Tokyo, Japan) under a constant copious water-cooling system using a high-speed contra-angled hand piece (Dentsply Sirona, York, PA, USA). All occlusal pits and fissures were included in the cavity design to standardize the preparations. A small sectional contoured metal matrix (TOR VM, Russia) was placed interproximally and fixed with a wedge.

At this point, the operator defined the restorative material to be used by opening the allocation envelope.The cavities were restored in each subgroup with restorative material according to the manufacture instructions as follow:

In subgroup IA and IIA(cotrol groups), a 37% phosphoric acid etchant (Scotchbond Universal Etchant, 3M, ESP) was applied for 15 seconds on the dentine and 30 seconds on the enamel ,followed by washing for 40 seconds with water and gently air dried. The adhesive system (Scotchbond Universal Adhesive, 3M, ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) was applied actively to the entire surface using a disposable bond brush, for 20 seconds. The adhesive was dispersed into a thin layer with a gentle stream of air for 5 seconds, followed by light curing for 10 seconds using an LED light-curing unit (BluePhase N, Ivoclar Vivadent AG) with an intensity of 1200 mW/cm². Cavities were filled with FiltekTM Bulk Fill (St. Paul, MN, USA), in one increment and light cured for 20 seconds on each surface of the tooth with the same curing unit.

In subgroup IB and IIB (study groups), The cavities were cleaned using an air-water spray, leaving a moist cavity surface. Surefil one activated capsules (Dentsply Sirona, Konstanz, Germany) were mixed for 10 seconds using a capsule mixer (4200-5000 rpm) following the manufacturer's instructions. The restorative material was promptly dispensed into the prepared cavity using a capsule extruder. The dispensing process began at the cavity's deepest area, with the tip kept close to the bottom. The tip was gradually withdrawn as the cavity was filled in bulk and contoured with a hand instrument.(Following this, the restoration was cured for 20 seconds on each surface of the tooth with the same curing unit.

After that ,the occlusion was checked using articulating paper (Bausch, Nashua, NH, USA). The restorations were finished using a yellow-coded finishing flame stone (MANI Inc., Tokyo, Japan).Final polishing was performed using polishing disks (Soflex, 3M ESPE, MN, USA) while keeping the restoration moist with water spray.

Clinical evaluation: The restorations were evaluated clinically and radiographically according to Modified United States Public Health Organization (USHPS) criteria measuring marginal adaption, surface roughness, anatomic form, postoperative sensitivity, recurrent caries, retention, color match and proximal contact. These items were ranked according to the scores: Alpha -ideal clinical situation; Bravo-clinically acceptable; Charlie-clinically unacceptable situation. The evaluation was done post restoration(baseline) and at follow-up periods of 3, 6, and 12 months

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The children will be randomly divided into 2 main groups according to the type of carious lesion:Group I occlusal lesions.Group II occluso-proximal lesions.

Then the children will be randomly sub grouped according to the type of restorative materials that will be used:Group IA and group IIA with filtek 3M bulk-fill resin composite .Group IB and IIB with surefil one restorative materials

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

The operator was not blinded to the allocation of the material because of the distinct application approach for the restorative materials, which prohibited doing so. However, the participants(children) ,their caregivers, and the statistician were blinded to the restorative material used.
