Tooth filling material choice for deep cavities
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 84 years old.
- You need a filling (inlay or onlay) on a back tooth (molar or premolar).
- The cavity is deep and goes below the gum line, but the tooth is otherwise healthy.
- You do not grind or clench your teeth, and you have no habits like chewing on pens or ice.
- You have natural teeth or fixed bridges opposite the tooth being treated, and the tooth has neighboring teeth.
- You do not have severe gum disease, loose teeth, or other dental infections.

This study compares two ways of preparing a molar for a 3D-printed tooth-colored filling. It aims to see which method keeps the tooth strong and healthy over 18 months. If you have a large cavity in a back tooth, this trial might help you get a new type of restoration.
This study compares two materials used to fill deep cavities in the chewing surfaces of back teeth. It aims to see which material works better for keeping the tooth healthy and comfortable.
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 compares two types of tooth-colored fillings for large cavities in back teeth. One is a new 3D-printed filling, and the other is a directly placed composite; the goal is to see which performs better over time.
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.
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.
