Background:Previous studies have indicated that the clinical performance of direct composite restoration mainly depends on the polymerization shrinkage. The use of micro ceramic inlay technique has proved to be elegant approach to overcome the polymerization shrinkage and improve the marginal adaptation, reduce wear and leakage of posterior restorations.Objectives:To compare the clinical performance between direct composite restorations and indirect micro ceramic composite restorations in occlusal surface of permanent posterior teethof class-I cavity. Results: The result of this study showed that there was no statisticallysignificant difference between two groups in the treatment of occlusal surface ofclass-I cavity of permanent posterior teeth (p > 0.05). It was concluded that indirect micro ceramic composite resin shows no better clinical efficacy than that of direct composite resin in occlusal surface of class-I cavity of permanent posterior teethInternational Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 02 April’19.

The purpose of the present study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcome following repair of furcal perforation by mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and intermediate restorative material (IRM) in mandibular molar teeth. Forty teeth having furcal perforation were enrolled in this study, out of which 20 teeth were treated with MTA and the remaining 20 teeth were subjected to IRM treatment. Following perforation repair, all teeth were subjected to root canal treatment followed by final restoration. Clinical and radiological outcome was evaluated at 3, 6 and 12 months interval. The results showed that in both MTA and IRM groups, pain, tenderness on percussion as well as swelling and sinus was gradually decreased with the increase of the observation period. Furthermore, the widening of the periodontal ligament space and communi-cation with the oral cavity were gradually decreased. Although there was no significant differences between MTA and IRM at 3 and 6 months observation period but at 12 months, the clinical outcome between MTA and IRM was statistically significant (p
