New dental resin composites were proposed to replace amalgam restorations. Despite the aesthetic advantages of these new materials, long term clinical evaluations should valid their current uses.
Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical performances of a micro-hybride dental resin composite at baseline, 6 months and 24 months.
Materials and methods:
66 classe II lesions (20 patients) were restored with a bonding agent / composite combination (Syntac Sprint / Tetric Ceram). The restorations were clinically evaluated using the modified USPHS criteria. The clinical data expressed in percentage were summarized in the table herewith.

24 months later the clinical evaluations of this combination gave encouraging results . However, only an extented period over 5 years will reveal whether these shortcomings recorded after 24 months will be clinically relevant for the longevity of the class II restorations.
