Official Title: A Prospective 4-year Clinical Study Evaluating Two Resin Composites on Diastema Closure and Reshaping
Brief Summary:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performances of nano-hybrid resin composite systems used for anterior diastema closure and tooth reshaping at 4 years in service using FDI Criteria.
Twenty-three patients with diastema problem were enrolled. Nano-hybrid resin composites to be used on each patient were randomly selected. Thirty-seven teeth (10 patients) were restored with Filtek-Z550 (3M/ESPE) in combination with Adper™ Single Bond 2 (3M/ESPE) in Group 1; whereas 39 teeth (13 patients) were restored with Charisma-Diamond (Heraeus Kulzer) in combination with Gluma2 Bond (Heraeus Kulzer) in Group 2, by two operators. Esthetic, functional and biological properties of the restorations were evaluated at baseline, 1-4 years using FDI Criteria establishing a score-range of 1-5. The data were evaluated using the Fisher's Chi-Square (p=0.05).
