Evaluation of Self-adhesive Hybrid Resin Composite Compared to a Traditional Composite Resin in Restorations of NCCLs

3-year Evaluation of the Clinical Performances of a Self-adhesive Hybrid Resin Composite Compared to a Traditional Composite Resin Used for Direct Restorations of Non-carious Cervical Lesions (NCCLs): A Split-mouth Randomized Clinical Trial

This is a split-mouth randomized clinical investigation conducted to evaluate clinical performances of a self-adhesive hybrid resin composite (investigational medical device Surefil) compared to a traditional composite resin, when used for direct restorations of non-carious lesions (NCCLs). The study consists of a 3-year long follow-up period.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in terms of clinical performance and patient discomfort after direct restorative treatment of class V NCCL with Surefil one restorative material (Dentsply Sirona) in combination with a traditional paste composite "Venus Pearl" employed in combination with iBond universal adhesive (Kulzer Dental) during an observational period of 3 years.
