Comparing new fillings vs. no-drill method for cavities in high-risk adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two ways to treat cavities on the chewing surface of back teeth in adults who are prone to cavities. One method uses a special kind of filling, and the other uses a minimally invasive technique to stop the cavity without drilling.
