Evaluating Single-Shade and Multi-Shade Resin Composites for Front Tooth Restorations A Randomized Study of Color Matching and Patient Satisfaction

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating how well single-shade resin-based composites RBCs match the color of natural teeth compared to conventional multi-shade composites in anterior tooth restorations. This study focuses on the aesthetic success of dental restorations by assessing the shade-matching ability, patient satisfaction, and dentist satisfaction with these materials. The trial includes 240 teeth from patients, studying different restoration types such as Class V, III, IV, and diastema closures. Participants will be divided into two groups one group will receive restorations using conventional multi-shade nanohybrid RBC, and the other will receive a single-shade composite with color adjustment potential. Each patient will have at least one tooth restored with each type, allowing a direct comparison. The study uses a double-blind design to keep both patients and clinicians unaware of which material is used. Satisfaction with color blending will be assessed one week after treatment. During the study, researchers will use a digital spectrophotometer to measure tooth color and evaluate patient and dentist satisfaction over one year. Follow-up assessments will include subjective feedback using a Visual Analogue Scale VAS. The trial aims to monitor the color adaptation of the composites and the overall aesthetic integration in the restored teeth. Participants will be observed for up to one year to evaluate the outcomes and satisfaction levels.
