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 study compares two methods of applying dental filling materials to see which one reduces tooth sensitivity better after a filling is placed. It may help people who have cavities and feel pain when their teeth are exposed to air or cold.
This study tests whether one type of dental cement causes less tooth sensitivity than another after placing a crown. The results could help your dentist choose the material that feels better for you.
This study compares two types of tooth-colored fillings for back teeth with cavities. One is a newer 'bulk-fill' material placed in one layer, and the other is a traditional filling placed in thin layers. The goal is to see which one causes less tooth sensitivity after the filling is placed.
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 tests two types of dental fillings for deep cavities to see which one helps the tooth form a protective layer over the nerve. It aims to find a better way to treat cavities that are close to the nerve, potentially avoiding more invasive procedures.
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.
