About this trial
To evaluate and compare the two-year clinical performance of Class I resin composite restorations utilizing a universal adhesive used in different etch-and-rinse strategies (15-second and 5-second etching) and self-etch strategies for bonding.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Postoperative hypersensitivity/pulp status
The postoperative hypersensitivity/pulp status will be assessed based on the updated FDI criteria. This parameter is evaluated by scoring the pain experienced during chewing and/or with cold or warm food items, as reported by the patient. The criteria consist of five scores: scores 1-3 indicate success, score 4 indicates the need for restoration repair, and score 5 indicates the need for restoration replacement.
Marginal adaptation
The marginal adaptation will be evaluated through visual examination using a 250 µm probe and brief air drying. This assessment will be conducted according to the updated FDI criteria. The criteria consist of five scores: scores 1-3 indicate success, score 4 indicates the need for restoration repair, and score 5 indicates the need for restoration replacement.
