Materials to be used as permanent filling materials in Class II restorations are still an essential field of study. This study aims to evaluate the 5-year clinical performance of Class II restorations performed with different bulk-fill restorative materials.
The study was planned as an observational clinical trial. In the study, Class II restorations performed with Tetric Bulk Fill (TBF) and Filtek Bulk Fill (FBF) composites and Equia Forte Fil (EF) will be evaluated. Fifty-one patients and 119 restorations will be included in the study. Restorations will be assessed in terms of modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria during the 5th year. Cochran Q, Pearson chi-square, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests will be used for statistical analysis.
