Abstract

Aim: To clinically evaluate the shade matching of the Universal Shade composites Omnichroma and GC Essentia versus the multi shade composite Filtek Z350XT in restoring cervical lesions of anterior teeth. Subjects and methods: A total of 27 patients with 60 teeth having cervical caries in the anterior teeth were randomly assigned into three groups (n= 20 teeth for each group). Group (A1) received composite restorations using Filtek Z350XT composite, Group (A2) received composite restorations using Omnichroma composite, while group (A3) received composite restorations using GC Essentia universal shade composite. The clinical performance of the restorations was evaluated 1 week after placement (T0), after 6 months (T1), and after 12 months (T2) using the modified USPHS criteria. Results: Filtek Z350XT and Omnichroma have shown 100% success rate for cervical anterior restorations after 12 months, while Essentia has shown 95% success rate after 12 months. Overall success of all tested outcomes within each group have shown no statistically significant change between followup periods (P<0.016). Conclusion: Universal based resin composites could be a reliable restorative material for anterior cervical cavities. The shade matching of universal shade resin based composites and conventional multi shade resin based composites is similar and found to be clinically acceptable after 12 months of clinical use.
