Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  One Step Universal Adhesi system   The one-step universal adhesive system is a simplified bonding technique that combines etching, priming, and bonding in a single application. It can be used in self-etch, total-etch, or selective-etch modes, offering versatility and reducing post-operative sensitivity. This system is user-friendly and provides reliable adhesion with minimal steps. 
Comparator Agent  Total Etch Adhesive System (5th generation)  The total-etch adhesive system is a technique in which phosphoric acid is used to etch both enamel and dentin before applying the adhesive. This method enhances bond strength by creating a strong micromechanical retention but may increase post-operative sensitivity due to dentin demineralization. It is widely used for composite resin restorations, especially in cases requiring high durability.

Brief Summary  

This Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) enrolled patients meeting specific eligibility criteria, requiring at least two Class I carious lesions (ICDAS 4) extending to dentin but not exceeding half the distance to the DEJ.


Patients were randomly assigned to two groups:

 Group A: Total-Etch Adhesive System (5th Generation)

 Group B: One-Step Universal Adhesive System (8th Generation)


All cavities were restored using nanohybrid composite resin with the incremental technique, followed by finishing and polishing.


Evaluation Parameters:

Post-operative hypersensitivity assessed using VAS immediately, at 24 hours, and 7 days post-procedure.

Marginal discoloration and adaptation evaluated at 3 and 6 months using USPHS criteria.


All data collected will undergo statistical analysis to compare the effectiveness of both adhesive systems.
