Clinical Evaluation of Kerr SonicFill™ 2 vs 3M ESPE Filtek™ Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Dental Caries

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare esthetic, functional and biological properties of two restoration materials used to fill cavities. One material is called "Filtek™ Supreme" which is a traditional tooth colored resin composite that is placed in the cavity in layers and hardened with UV light. The second material is called "SonicFill™ 2," which is a bulk fill composite that uses an ultrasonic hand piece to change the material from a solid into a liquid in order to place it into the cavity. This material can be placed in the cavity in 1 layer, and is hardened using UV light. Both materials have been FDA approved as non-significant risk devices for filling cavities. In each subject, one tooth with a cavity will be randomly selected to receive one filling material, and a second tooth with a cavity will be randomly selected to receive the second material. The fillings will be observed over a two year period to determine clinical acceptability.

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Is at least 18 years of age
• Is willing to provide voluntary written informed consent
• Is in good medical health and able to tolerate the dental procedures
• Has at least 1 pair of qualifying molars or premolars that require Class II restorations.
• Restorations must have a buccal to lingual/palatal width equal to or greater than 1/3 the distance from buccal to lingual/palatal cusp tips
• Study teeth must be in occlusal function and must also be in contact with the neighboring tooth on at least one surface
• Study teeth must be vital (i.e., free of clinical signs and symptoms of periapical pathology)

You may not qualify if…

• Is currently taking part in an evaluation of other dental restorative materials
• Has chronic periodontitis or rampant caries
• Teeth exhibiting clinical signs of periapical pathology
• Teeth with a history of self-reported preoperative pulpal problems
• Women who are pregnant (self-reported). It is standard of care to post-pone routine dental procedures and radiographed until after pregnancy.
• Women who are breast feeding.
• Known allergy to resin composites or local anesthetics.
• Abnormal oral soft tissue findings (e.g., open sores, lesions)
• An employee of the sponsor or members of their immediate family.
• Condition affecting salivary flow (e.g., salivary gland disorder, Sjögren's Syndrome)
• Any restorative treatment of the teeth involved in the study in the last 12 months.
• Are unwilling or unable to have dental radiographs or photographs taken of their dentition and soft tissues
• Any other condition which is the view of the investigator may affect the ability of a patient to complete the study.
