This study was a clinical trial to determine the short-term efficacy of the one-bottle one-step bonding system “Clearfil Tri-S Bond®” and restorative material “Clearfil Majesty”. A total of 30 restorations were placed in 30 human subjects in minimally invasive Class V and V-shape cervical cavities in permanent teeth by three operators. The baseline records were made immediately after placement according to the American Dental Association for assessment. Patients were followed up routinely at recall intervals up to 18 months and the restorations were evaluated for clinical acceptability. At eighteen months, all restorations were classified as clinically satisfactory and assigned an Alpha rating. No restorations recorded Bravo or Charlie. The Kaplan-Meier probability of survival rate for these restorations at eighteen months is 1.00. As a result, the short-term clinical performance with the Clearfil Tri-S Bond® was very safe at 18 months after placement. It might be difficult to differentiate between the clinical performances of recently marketed bonding systems with high bonding efficacy, but performance is most affected by technical errors by operators.
