A double-blind randomized clinical trial of a silorane-based resin composite in class 2 restorations: 18-month follow-up.

Purpose: To compare the clinical performance of a silorane-based with a methacrylate-based restorative system in class 2 restorations after an 18-month follow-up.

Methods: This randomized, double-blind and controlled study included 33 subjects receiving 100 direct resin composite restorations that were completely randomized to silorane-based group (Filtek P90/Silorane System Adhesive - 3M ESPE) or methacrylate-based group (Filtek P60/Adper SE Plus - 3M ESPE). The restorative system was determined by chance using a coin toss until 50 units for each group were completed.

The short-term clinical performance of a silorane-based resin composite in the proximal contacts of class II restorations.

Aim: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the proximal contact of a silorane-based resin composite with a conventional methacrylate-based resin composite in class II restorations after a 6 months follow-up period.

Materials And Methods: After obtaining informed consent, 33 patients were randomly allocated into a test group (Filtek P90/Adhesive System-3M ESPE) or control group (Filtek P60/ Adper SE Plus-3M ESPE), and 100 direct resin composite restorations (n = 50) were placed. A single operator performed the cavities and restorations.
