Comparing two tooth-colored fillings for large cavities in back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of tooth-colored fillings (inlays) for large cavities in back teeth. One is made from a hard ceramic-like material made by a computer, and the other is a composite resin filling placed by hand. The goal is to see which one lasts better and works best for repairing big cavities.
