Filling cavities in back teeth: A clinical trial comparing two materials
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares a new type of filling material (high-viscosity glass ionomer) with a standard composite filling for cavities between back teeth. It tests which material works better over one year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You have at least two cavities between back teeth, one on each side of your mouth
- Your cavities are of moderate depth (not too shallow or too deep, involving the inner or middle layer of the tooth)
- You are in good general health
- Your teeth are alive (not root canal treated), free of pain, and have normal gum health
- The teeth with cavities are in contact with natural teeth on both sides and have teeth that bite against them
- You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
