Statement of the problem. Objective long-term clinical data are necessary to assess the performance of modern posterior composites as direct rind indirect restorations.Purpose. This prospective, long-term clinical trial evaluated direct and indirect composite restorations For clinical acceptability as posterior restoratives in single or multisurface cavities and provided a survey on the 3-year results.Material and methods. Under the supervision of an experienced dentist, 9 dental students placed 88 composite restorations (Tetric, blend-a-lux, Pertac-Hybrid Unifil), 43 direct composite restorations, and 45 indirect inlays. Clinical evaluation was performed at baseline and in yearly intervals after placement by 2 other experienced dentists, using modified USPHS criteria. A third Follow-up of 60 restorations took place within 33 to 36 months after placement.Results. A total of 93% of indirect and 87% of direct restorations were assessed to be clinically excellent or acceptable. During the third year, 1 direct restoration in a molar failed because of margin opening. Indirect inlays exhibited a significantly better anatomic form of the surface than direct composite restorations. Premolars revealed a significantly better marginal integrity and anatomic form of the surface than molars. Restorations in molars exhibited a significantly higher failure rate compared with premolars.Conclusion. Posterior composite restorations provided a satisfactory clinical performance: over a 3-year period, even if placed hy relatively inexperienced but supervised students.
