Sealed vs. Unsealed Fillings for Tooth Decay
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of filling cavities on the sides of back teeth—one with an extra protective seal and one without. Researchers will follow your teeth for two years to see which approach works better and lasts longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have one or more cavities on the side of a back tooth that don't cause pain
