Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the preheating effect of a group shade resin-based composite. The evaluation will be done on Ryge criteria. The main question it aims to answer is if there is a difference in time between preheated and non-heated resin-based composites in the oral cavity. Participants will be given treatment for cavities class 2 on premolars and molar and will come for recall at 24h, 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.
Description
The participants in the study will be adult patients (over 18 years old). Each patient will receive 2 restorations on premolars or molars, class 2, and medium cavities. The restorations will be performed under isolation with rubber-dam, and restored with preheated or not-heated resin-based composite. The occlusion will be tested and they will be notified to come for recall in order to make the evaluation of the restorations.
