Can Repair Increase the Useful Life of Composite Resins? Clinical Trial: Triple-blind Controlled - 10 Year Follow-up
In Brief
An observational study for Replacement and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Objectives: The aim of this prospective, randomized, triple-blind cohort study was to assess the longevity of repairs to localized clinical defects in composite restorations that were initially scheduled to be treated with a restoration replacement Methods: 28 patients aged 18 to 80 years with 50 composite restorations were recruited.Restorations with clinically diagnosed secondary caries (Charlie) or undercontoured anatomical form defects (Bravo) were randomly assigned to the Repair (n = 25) or Replacement (n = 25) group, the quality of the restorations was scored according to the modified USPHS criteria. A Wilcoxon test was performed for comparisons between the same groups (CI=0.05). A Friedman test was utilized for multiple comparisons between different years of the same group.
