Study on filling placement depth and tooth health
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests how the depth of a filling below the gumline affects the health of the tooth's nerve and surrounding gum tissue. It may help people with cavities that go below the gum to get better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a cavity in a permanent back tooth that extends below the gumline, but the inner tooth damage is not too deep.
- The tooth does not hurt spontaneously or have lingering pain, or only hurts a little when tested.
- You have at least 1 mm of healthy tooth above the jawbone after the cavity is cleaned out.
- Your gums are generally healthy with low plaque and bleeding scores.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, a smoker, or a heavy drinker, and have no uncontrolled diabetes or bone disease.

This study tests a special way to fill deep cavities that extend below the gum line, using a self-adhesive composite material. It aims to see if this method works well and lasts for at least a year, potentially avoiding more complex treatments.
This study is testing a special flowable filling material for deep cavities that extend below the gum line in back teeth. The goal is to see if this material reduces the chance of cavities coming back compared to standard treatment.
This trial tests a new tooth-colored filling material for deep cavities that can be placed without removing healthy tooth structure. It may help preserve more of your natural tooth and reduce sensitivity.
This trial tests a technique called deep marginal elevation for fixing deep cavities near the gumline. It aims to see if this method affects your gum health compared to a healthy tooth on the other side.
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 compares different filling materials for teeth with deep cavities that extend below the gum line. It aims to find which material works best for restoring these teeth and improving long-term outcomes.
