Comparing filling methods for cavities between back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies different ways dentists separate teeth while placing fillings in back teeth (molars) with cavities between teeth. It aims to find out which method helps the filling fit tightly and shape correctly, which may improve comfort and durability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 40 years old.
- You have a cavity in a back tooth (molar) that involves both the chewing surface and the side between teeth.
- The cavity severity is moderate to advanced (scores 4 or 5 on the ICDAS scale).
- The tooth is still alive (not needing a root canal) and does not cause constant pain.
- The teeth next to and across from the affected tooth are in normal position and you have good bite.
