The effect of “bulk-fill”flowable resin in filling deep wedge-shaped defects:A randomized controlled clini-cal evaluation / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the effect of “bulk-fill”flowable resin in filling deep wedge-shaped defects.Methods:50 pa-tients with totally 85 pairs of premolars with deep wedge-shaped defects(depth >2 mm)were included.Each pair of the defects was randomly divided into the test group and the control group,the defects were treated by “bulk-fill”flowable resin with single cure tech-nique and conventional flowable resin with incremental layering technique respectively,the tooth sensitive rate 1 week after filling,the filling failure rate,the edge coloring and secondary caries rate 2 years after filling of the 2 groups were compared.Results:There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the sensitive rate 1 week after filling,the failure rate and the edge coloring and sec-ondary caries rate 2 years after filling(P >0.05).Conclusion:The “bulk-filled”flowable resin using single cure technique can ac-quire the same clinical effect as conventional flowable resin using incremental layering technique in filling deep wedge-shaped defects.
