Shade Matching Potential of Universal Shade Resin Composite Materials Compared to Multi Shade Resin Composite in Restoration of Carious Cervical Lesions in Anterior Teeth

Shade Matching Potential of Universal Shade Resin Composite Materials Compared to Multi Shade Resin Composite in Restoration of Carious Cervical Lesions in Anterior Teeth ( Randomized Clinical Trial ) - 1 Year Follow up

The aim of the study is to clinically evaluate the shade matching and clinical performance of the Universal shade composites Omnichroma and GC Essentia versus the multi shade composite Filtek Z350XT in restoring cervical lesions of anterior teeth.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Class V carious lesions in anterior teeth
• Vital upper or lower anterior teeth with no signs of irreversible pulpitis and necrosis.
• Presence of favorable occlusion and teeth are in normal contact with the adjacent teeth

Exclusion Criteria:

• Deep carious defects ( Close to pulp, less than 1 mm distance)
• Periapical pathology or signs of pulpal pathology
• Endodontically treated teeth
• Tooth hypersensitivity
• Possible prosthodontic restoration of teeth
• Heavy occlusion and occlusal contacts or history of bruxism
• Severe periodontal affection
• Lesions in premolars and molars
• Posterior teeth
