7.2 Clinical post-marketing surveillance study, Republic of South Africa

Main Investigator
Dr. Paul D. Brandt, University of Pretoria (ZA)
Objective
The objective of this investigation is to prove that the performance of posterior composite
restorations is the same when cured with
a) a conventional halogen curing light with 20-second curing cycles.
b) SmartLite PS with 10-second curing cycles.
Design
Prospective controlled postmarketing surveillance investigation.
Under the conditions of general daily practice, each of up to 10 investigators places eighty
Class I and II posterior composite restorations and monitors the performance of these
restorations for up to 16 months.
Half of the restorations are cured with a halogen curing light (with an output of more than 300
mW/cm², measured with a CureRite device) which is routinely used in the surgery. The
curing time for each 2mm-increment of composite is 20 seconds.
