Design Details

Primary Purpose: Treatment
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double


Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Equia Forte Fil<br> | Other: Equia Forte Fil<br>* Glass hybrid innovation achieved through the introduction of ultrafine, highly reactive glass particles dispersed with conventional GI. The restoration is coated with Equia Forte coat which incorporates multi-functional monomer producing a tougher resin matrix. This system is designed as alternative of amalgam in posterior teeth.<br>Other: Zirconomer Improved<br>* Zirconia reinforced GI, Glass Polyalkenoate restoration; it is designed to exhibit high strength where the glass component of this GI undergoes finely controlled micronization to achieve optimum particle size and characteristics .<br>|
