Clinical Performance of BIS-GMA Free Dental Resin Composite

Hypothesis: The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in using the new BIS- GMA- free composite.

Aim of the study: This clinical trial was conducted to compare the clinical performance of the new BIS- GMA- free composite versus BIS-GMA- containing composite in the management of carious lesion in adult patients over 9 months. The two types of composites will be evaluated using USPHS criteria for:

• Retention (R).
• Contact (C).
• Color match (CM).
• Marginal adaptation (MA).
• Marginal discoloration (MD).
• Anatomic form (AF).
• Secondary caries (SC).
• Surface texture (ST).
• Gingival inflammation (GI).
• Post-operative sensitivity (POS).
• Patient complaints (PC).
• Patient satisfaction (PS).
• The evaluation done by three calibrated operators.

The study was conducted in Operative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Menia University.

The researcher was bear ultimate responsibility for all activities associated with the conduct of a research project including recruitment of patients, explaining, and performing the procedures to them.

• Intervention:

BIS- GMA- free composite material:

Tooth preparation and restoration was carried out using magnifying loops. All cavities were restored using composite resin. cavities, including the dentin, were acid etched for 30 s, rinsed thoroughly for 15 s, bonded with universal adhesive and light cured for 10 s prior to placing the filling material.

Restorations were light cured for 20 s, check the occlusion, finished with diamond burs and polished with Kenda hybrid composite pre- and super-polishers (Kenda, Vaduz, Liechtenstein).

• Comparator:

BIS- GMA- containing composite material:

The same methodology of the intervention BIS-GMA- free composite material If the patient showed any complications during our clinical trial toward either the intervention (BIS- GMA- free composite) or the comparator (BIS-GMA containing composite material), the trial will be stopped at once and all the needed management against any complications will be done.

Inclusion criteria

• Have been from 20 to 45 years of age.
• Have at least two molars supported permanent dentition free of any clinically significant occlusal interference who required class I or class II restoration and fulfilled the inclusion criteria, will informed about the study and will give a patient information leaflet (PIL) describing their potential involvement.
• The two studied materials restorations should be used in approximately the same sized lesions or within the same extension.
• The patient will be reimbursed for attending for the clinical evaluation(s) of their restorations.
• Be a regular dental attender who agree to return for assessments.

Exclusion criteria

• There was a history of any adverse reaction to clinical materials of the type to be used in the study.
• There was evidence of occlusal parafunction and/or pathological tooth wear.
• patients whose history revealed parafunctional habits or use of medications that potentially could cause hyposalivation.
• They are pregnant or have medical and/or dental histories which could possibly complicate their attendance for the assessment of the restorations and/ or influence the behavior and performance of the restorations in the clinical service.
• They were irregular dental attenders.
