Abstract
Two visible light-cured composite resins, Ful-Fil and X-55, were used to restore 136 Class I and Class II cavity preparations in adult teeth. After 5 years the ratings for color matching, interfacial staining, secondary caries, and marginal adaptation remained good, using USPHS criteria (ranging from 75% to 100% Alfa). The average surface loss due to occlusal wear was 158 and 169 micrometers for Ful-Fil and X-55, respectively. Significant differences in occlusal wear were noted depending on tooth and restoration type. These results indicate that both composite resins meet the current ADA Council on Dental Materials specifications for full acceptance in adult posterior teeth.
