Testing tooth fillings in children’s back teeth with cavities
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares how well different filling materials work in children’s primary (baby) molars with small to moderate cavity damage. It may help by identifying fillings that last better and fit well in the spots where cavities are found.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (and your parent/guardian) must agree to join and sign consent
- You must have at least four baby back teeth (first/second molars) with cavities that need a specific kind of filling for the side (class II)
- The tooth supports (the area that holds the tooth in place) should look healthy on X-rays
- The cavity on X-ray should reach no more than the outer half of the tooth’s inner layer (dentin)
- The teeth must not have had fillings before
- The teeth should be able to touch neighboring healthy teeth (side and/or bite contact)
Quick eligibility check

This study compares two types of glass fillings (GIC) to repair cavities between the back baby teeth. It may help your child by using a filling option designed to seal well where germs collect and by closely monitoring healing and fit.
This study compares how well a newer filling material (Cention-N) works in children's permanent back teeth that have cavities. It's for healthy children ages 8 to 10 who have cavities in both lower or both upper first molars.
This study tests four different filling materials for baby molars. It is for children who need a simple filling and can cooperate well at the dentist.
This study compares a new injectable filling material to a standard one for treating cavities on the sides of baby back teeth. The trial will test which material works better and lasts longer.
This trial tests two different types of tooth-colored filling materials for fixing cavities. The goal is to see which material works better and lasts longer.
This trial tests two different ways of hardening (curing) the material used for fillings in baby molars. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for children needing fillings for cavities or other damage.
