A multipractice clinical evaluation of an ORMOCER restorative--2-year results.

Objectives: This ongoing prospective study evaluates the clinical performance of an ORMOCER restorative material (Definite; Degussa) in combination with a self-conditioning adhesive (Etch & Prime 3.0; Degussa).

Method And Materials: Three hundred fifty-six restorations (48 Class I, 150 Class II, 63 Class III, 32 Class IV, and 63 Class V) in 117 patients (17 to 65 years) were placed by 5 operators at 5 centers.

One-year evaluation of an Ormocer restorative-a multipractice clinical trial.

The purpose of this ongoing prospective long-term study was to evaluate the clinical performance of Ormocer restorative material in combination with a self-conditioning adhesive. Five operators at five clinics placed 356 restorations (48 class I, 150 class II, 63 class III, 32 class IV, and 63 class V) in 117 patients aged 17 to 65 years. All fillings were placed with cotton roll isolation and clear matrix bands for class III and IV restorations, and metal matrix bands and an incremental placement technique were used for class II restorations.
