The Effect of Decoupling With Time Technique on the Clinical Performance of Proximal Posterior Composite Restorations (DWT)
The Effect of Decoupling With Time Technique on the Clinical Performance of Proximal Posterior Composite Restorations: An 18-Month Randomized Clinical Trial
This randomized clinical trial will evaluate whether the decoupling with time technique improves the clinical performance of Class II posterior composite restorations compared with conventional composite restoration techniques. The study will also assess postoperative hypersensitivity and the additional operative time required to perform the decoupling with time technique. Participants will receive a posterior composite restoration and will be followed for 18 months. Clinical performance will be evaluated using the Modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria, and postoperative hypersensitivity will be assessed before treatment, 1 week after restoration placement, and at 6, 12, and 18 months. The study will help determine whether the additional time required for the decoupling with time technique is associated with improved clinical outcomes.

This randomized clinical trial will evaluate the effect of the decoupling with time technique on the clinical performance of posterior composite restorations in Class II cavities.
The study will include eligible participants requiring posterior Class II composite restorations. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the decoupling with time group or the conventional restoration group.
In the decoupling with time group, following cavity preparation, immediate dentin sealing will be performed using a universal adhesive system applied with a selective enamel-etching strategy. A conventional flowable resin composite will then be applied as an initial stress-reducing layer with a thickness of approximately 0.5-1.0 mm. A 5-minute waiting period will be allowed before completion of the composite restoration. Deep margin elevation will not be performed as part of the study protocol.
The control group will receive a conventional posterior composite restoration according to the standardized restorative protocol without the decoupling with time waiting period.
The primary outcome will be postoperative hypersensitivity, assessed using the Modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. Hypersensitivity will be assessed pre-operatively, at 1 week after restoration placement, and at 6, 12, and 18 months after restoration placement.
The clinical performance of the restorations will be evaluated using the Modified USPHS criteria immediately after restoration placement and at 6, 12, and 18 months. The evaluated clinical parameters will include marginal integrity, fracture and retention, marginal discoloration, anatomic form, proximal contact, surface texture, radiographic evaluation, and secondary caries.
The total operative time required to complete each restoration will also be recorded in minutes using a digital stopwatch, starting from the beginning of the restorative procedure and ending upon completion of the restoration. This will allow assessment of whether the additional operative time associated with the decoupling with time technique is associated with improved clinical outcomes.
Participants will be followed for 18 months to evaluate the clinical performance of the restorations and postoperative hypersensitivity over time.

Kokeellinen: Decoupling With Time Group
Participants assigned to this group will receive a Class II posterior composite restoration using the decoupling with time technique. Immediate dentin sealing will be performed using a universal adhesive system with a selective enamel-etching strategy, followed by application of a 0.5-1.0 mm layer of conventional flowable resin composite. A 5-minute waiting period will be allowed before completion of the composite restoration. |
