Summary
SureFil packable resin-based composite demonstrated a 96% success rate over two years for Class I and II restorations. This material is considered successful when used in smaller cavities with appropriate application.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Materials Science
Background:
- Packable resin-based composites were introduced in 1998.
- Limited clinical studies exist for these materials.
- This study evaluates the two-year performance of SureFil packable posterior resin-based composite.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the two-year clinical performance of SureFil packable posterior resin-based composite.
- To assess its suitability for Class I and II restorations.
Main Methods:
- 36 patients received 55 restorations (16 Class I, 39 Class II).
- Standard etching and bonding procedures were followed.
- Restorations were evaluated using Ryge criteria at baseline, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
Main Results:
- After two years, 50 restorations were evaluated.
- Five restorations showed surface staining and three had marginal adaptation issues.
- Overall, the material maintained high performance with a 96% success rate.
Conclusions:
- SureFil packable resin-based composite achieved a 96% success rate after two years.
- It is considered successful for Class I and II restorations.
- Effective in limited-sized cavities with proper technique.
