Comparing dental fillings for diabetes patients with cavities
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of dental filling (Giomer) in people with and without diabetes to see how well it works for cavities near the gumline. It may help determine if this filling is a good option for diabetic patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cavity on the side of a tooth near the gumline (Class V cavity) that is moderately serious (ICDAS score 3 or 4).
- You either have diabetes that is well-controlled, or you do not have diabetes and have no other health conditions.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- The tooth with the cavity does not need a root canal and has no nerve problems.
- You do not have habits like grinding or clenching your teeth, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
