Researchers are evaluating the clinical performance of 3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Flowable Composite for dental restorations, focusing on Class IV cavities and veneers on anterior maxillary teeth. This non-randomized clinical study aims to provide data on the survival and aesthetic and functional outcomes of this flowable composite material, which has been developed to improve ease of use and adaptability compared to traditional paste composites. The study includes follow-ups at 7 days, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months, using a modified Fédération Dentaire Internationale (FDI) score updated in 2023 to assess the restorations. Participants will receive 3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Flowable Composite treatment applied to either Class IV restorations or veneers, with veneers performed only on paired contralateral teeth. The composite contains a mix of resins and various fillers designed for improved handling and performance. The study is conducted at a single site and includes at least 50 Class IV and 25 veneer restorations. Evaluations will be performed by two calibrated examiners different from the treating operator to ensure objective scoring. During the study, participants will have their dental restorations photographed and assessed at each follow-up visit for up to 24 months. The primary outcome is the survival of the treated site over this period. Secondary outcomes include evaluations of esthetic and functional properties. Participants must attend all scheduled follow-up visits and maintain good oral hygiene. Safety and performance data will be collected throughout the study duration, which lasts up to 24 months post-treatment.
