Comparing different materials for dental restorations
Comparative Evaluation of Class V Restorations: 2-Year Randomized Double-Blind Trial Comparing Ion-Releasing Materials and Resin Composite
This study is testing how well different materials for dental fillings work over two years in adults to see which ones last longer and perform better.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the two-year performance of Class V dental restorations using various restorative systems, including both ion-releasing and non-ion-releasing composites. It employs a double-blinded randomized design to ensure unbiased results, with 100 adult patients participating from the Operative Department clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Mansoura. Participants will receive informed consent and will be monitored for restoration success over the study period from November 2023 to November 2025.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with a primary cervical caries on the buccal surface of their posterior teeth and good oral hygiene.
Not a fit: Patients with high caries risk, poor oral hygiene, or those undergoing orthodontic treatment may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved dental restoration techniques, enhancing patient outcomes and reducing the incidence of restoration failure.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies on dental restorations with ion-releasing materials have shown promising success rates, indicating that this approach has been tested with favorable outcomes.
