Testing a shorter etching time for cavities
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study is testing if a shorter acid etching time works just as well for filling cavities in children's or adults' back teeth. It may help make the filling process quicker and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have at least three cavities on the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (upper or lower).
- Your teeth should be in good health with no major gum disease or tooth decay risk.
- The teeth being treated must respond normally to a gentle electric test (meaning the nerve is healthy).
- Your bite must be normal and complete, and the teeth opposite the cavities should be natural and not have fillings or crowns.
- You cannot be currently wearing braces or having gum surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two tooth-colored filling materials for children's back teeth (molars). One is a thicker, packable paste; the other is a thinner, flowable composite that can be injected. The goal is to see which filling performs better over time in terms of durability and gum health.
This study tests a new self-hardening filling material against a light-activated bioactive filling for cavities between back teeth. The goal is to see which material works better and lasts longer.
This study compares three types of tooth-colored fillings for cavities in the back teeth of children aged 4-9. It looks at how well they work, their effect on bacteria in the mouth, and how they affect saliva acidity, aiming to find the best option for kids.
This study looks at how long to etch the tooth before placing a white filling on a front tooth. You may qualify if you need a standard filling on the side or corner of a front tooth.
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.
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.
