Clinical Performance of Nanofilled and Microhybrid Direct Composite Restorations on Endodontically Treated Teeth

doi: 10.1922/EJPRD_01638Akalin09

This study evaluated the clinical performance of direct restorations made of nanofilled
and microhybrid resin composites in endodontically treated teeth. Twenty patients (11
males, 9 females; mean age: 34.2±10) that met the inclusion criteria received a total
of 48 restorations. After employing etch-and-rinse adhesive system, one dentist placed
all restorations using either a nanofilled (Filtek Ultimate) or microhybrid (Filtek Z250)
resin composite. The restorations were clinically reviewed at baseline, 6 months, and
up to 2 years using the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria.
The changes were analyzed using the McNemar test and marginal homogeneity tests
(p<0.05). The mean observation period was 17.4 months. With respect to color match,
marginal adaptation, secondary caries, and surface texture, no significant differences
were found between the two restorative materials (p>0.05). Most restorations yielded
alpha or bravo scores with respect to the evaluation criteria. Five restorations failed due
to chipping up to 2 years (1 microhybrid at 6 m, and 3 at 2 years; 1 nanofilled at 2 y) and
were repaired. One complete replacement and one extraction due to endodontic complications were needed for 2 microhybrid resin group at 2 years.
