Testing a new bonding method for tooth lesions
This trial tests a special wet bonding technique using dimethyl sulfoxide to repair non-carious cervical lesions, which are worn areas near the gum line of premolars. It aims to see if this method improves the bond and durability of the filling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have two similar worn areas on the front or cheek-side surfaces of your premolars.
- The wear is mild to moderate (score 1-3 on a tooth wear scale).
- Your bite is normal and your teeth touch properly.
- You do not have any serious medical conditions.
- Your gums around the affected teeth are healthy.
- You are not currently wearing braces or have crowns/bridges on those teeth.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of dental glue (universal adhesive) that contains something called ARS (a special antibacterial ingredient). It is for adults who have a cavity on the neck of their tooth (the part near the gum line) shaped like a notch. The goal is to see how well this glue works to hold the filling in place.
This study tests different bonding methods for fixing a tooth that has a problem (like a chip or crack) but is still healthy. It looks at which approach works best over time for people with good overall oral health.
This trial tests two new dental adhesive systems used to fix cavities on the fronts of front teeth. It may be a good option if you have certain types of cavities and can commit to follow-up visits.
This trial tests a new type of tooth-colored filling material that flows into deep cavities below the gum line. The goal is to see if it helps prevent the cavity from coming back in molars (back teeth).
This trial tests whether a newer, simpler dental glue for braces causes less damage to tooth enamel than a standard glue used for over 20 years. It may help teenagers who need braces on their upper and lower teeth.
This trial compares two types of tooth fillings for wear-and-tear cavities that form near the gum line on the side of the tooth (non-carious cervical lesions). It tests whether a newer self-sticking resin composite works as well as a glass ionomer filling that is often used for these spots.
