Comparison of Two Universal Composites in Posterior Teeth

August 30, 2016 updated by: Zeynep Bilge Kutuk, Hacettepe University

Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Double Blind Trial of Two Universal Composites in Posterior Teeth

The aim of this randomized, prospective clinical study was to compare the clinical performance of a universal light-curing, ultra-fine particle hybrid composite with a new version of this product produced by the same manufacturer in Class 1 and Class 2 lesions.

Detailed Description

A total of 80 (13 Class 1 and 67 Class 2) lesions in 40 patients (21 females, 19 males) with ages ranging between 18-38 years (23.15±5.15) were either restored with Charisma or Charisma Classic (Heraeus Kulzer) in combination with an etch and rinse adhesive system (Gluma 2 Bond) under rubber dam isolation by two experienced operators according to the manufacturer's instructions. Two independent examiners, who were blinded to the composites used evaluated the restorations according to the FDI (World Dental Federation) criteria. Bite-wing radiographs and intraoral digital photographs were taken before and after treatment and at 6 months. The statistical analyses were carried out with McNemar, Pearson Chi-square and Cochran Q tests (p<0.05).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Charisma
applied randomly

The surfaces were etched using 35% phosphoric acid for 30 s. The etched surfaces were rinsed and dried. Charisma was used in combination Gluma2 Bond etch&rinse adhesive. The composite resin restorations were light-cured (600 milliwatt/cm²). Occlusion was checked with thin articulating papers.

Restoration surfaces were finished and polished with fine finishing diamond burs, stones and rubber cups.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Observers evaluated the esthetic properties of the restorations using FDI (World Dental Federation) Criteria.

"Surface luster"; "Staining (surface, margins)"; "Color match and translucency"; "Esthetic anatomical form"
The changes at restorations were obtained from baseline (one week after treatment), 6 month, 1, 2, 3 and 4 year.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Observers evaluated the functional properties of the restorations using FDI (World Dental Federation) Criteria.
Time Frame: The changes at restorations were obtained from baseline (one week after treatment), 6 month, 1, 2, 3 and 4 year.
"Fracture of material and retention"; "Marginal adaptation"
The changes at restorations were obtained from baseline (one week after treatment), 6 month, 1, 2, 3 and 4 year.

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
