Comparing two ways to treat cavities in back teeth for people at high risk of new cavities
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods for treating early cavities in the chewing surfaces of back teeth: a special tooth-colored filling material versus a standard preventive filling technique. It aims to see which works better for people who tend to get cavities easily.

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 two types of tooth-colored fillings (inlays) for large cavities in back teeth. One is made from a hard ceramic-like material made by a computer, and the other is a composite resin filling placed by hand. The goal is to see which one lasts better and works best for repairing big cavities.
This study compares a newer type of tooth-colored filling material (called bulk-fill composite) to standard fillings for cavities in back teeth. It tests how well the fillings hold up over time, which could help you get a filling that lasts longer.
This trial compares two types of tooth-colored fillings for teeth with deep cavities that extend below the gumline. One filling material is designed to release minerals to help protect the tooth, while the other is a standard strong resin. The goal is to see which material works better for this kind of repair.
