Bonding methods for filling cavities to reduce tooth sensitivity
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways of bonding a tooth-colored filling to see which reduces tooth sensitivity after the procedure. It may help if you have a moderate cavity on a back tooth that causes brief pain or sensitivity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cavity on the chewing surface of a premolar or molar tooth.
- The cavity is moderate depth, reaching the middle layer of the tooth (dentin) but not too deep.
- You have symptoms of reversible pulpitis: brief sharp pain or sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet things.
- You are not taking long-term anti-inflammatory, pain, or psychiatric medications.
- You do not have poor oral hygiene, gum disease, bruxism (teeth grinding), or other serious tooth wear.

This trial compares two treatments applied after a filling to reduce tooth sensitivity. It may help if you have a new cavity on a back tooth and feel cold or air sensitivity.
This study tests two types of tooth-colored fillings to see which one causes less sensitivity after treatment. It may help you keep your natural tooth comfortable and healthy.
This trial is testing if a special type of dental filling material (flowable composite) causes less tooth sensitivity after getting a cavity filled. It may help people with cavities in the back teeth.
This study compares a new type of tooth-colored filling material (self-cure bulk-fill) to a standard one. It's for people who have a first-time cavity on the side of a back tooth. The goal is to see which filling lasts better and feels more comfortable.
This study tests whether a special potassium compound can reduce tooth sensitivity after a filling is placed on the side of your tooth. If you have a worn spot on your tooth near the gum that feels sensitive, this trial might help determine a better way to treat it.
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.
