30-Month randomised clinical trial to evaluate the clinical performance of a nanofill and a nanohybrid composite

<sup>99m</sup>Tc in the evaluation of microleakage of composite resin restorations with SonicFill<sup>TM</sup>. An <i>in vitro</i> experimental model

“…Filtek TM SupremeXTE is a nanocomposite that contains nanometric particles and nanoclusters, and presents high translucency, high polish and polish retention similar to microfilled composites and physical properties and wear resistance equivalent to several hybrid composites [19]. SonicFill TM was introduced in the dental market in 2010 and it combines the properties of a flow able composite with those of a universal composite: oscillation energy temporarily increases flow ability of the composite to achieve precise filling of cavities.…”

Arrest of non-cavitated dentinal occlusal caries by sealing pits and fissures: a 36-month, randomised controlled clinical trial

“…Over a period of 3 months (intake period), 60 ( n = 30 per group) molars in 35 individuals (10–22 years of age) were selected. A sample size of 30 per research treatment is recognised as adequate to afford levels of variability that enable a pertinent conclusion 9,10 . The criterion for inclusion was the presence of visually non‐cavitated lesions between the enamel–dentine junction and the middle one‐third of dentine.…”

Resin Composite Class I Restorations: A 54-month Randomized Clinical Trial

“…9,10 Clinical trials are important to verify the performance of composites under actual conditions of use. 11 Focusing solely on the longitudinal clinical performance, this study evaluated the clinical performance of a nanofilled, a nanohybrid, and, as a control, a conventional microhybrid composite in Class I occlusal restorations of posterior teeth over the course of 54 months. The null hypothesis to be tested was that there was no difference in the clinical performance among the three resin composites after 54 months.…”
