Root cavity treatments compared in cancer patients
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to fix cavities on the roots of teeth in adults who have cancer. One method uses a glass ionomer filling plus a special antibacterial treatment (SMART), and the other uses the standard filling approach. The goal is to see which method works better and lasts longer for people going through cancer treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 35 and 55 years old and have a cancer diagnosis.

- Your teeth must be alive (responsive to cold or electric tests) and not have had fillings before.
- You should have good oral hygiene and no serious gum disease.

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.
This study compares two types of tooth-colored filling materials used to repair cavities that form at the gum line on front teeth and premolars (the teeth just behind the canines). Both materials are designed to be easy for dentists to place and may help keep the area healthy. If you have a small to moderate cavity in this area, this trial could help determine which material works better over 18 months.
This trial compares two types of tooth-colored fillings for teeth with deep cavities that extend below the gumline. One filling material is designed to release minerals to help protect the tooth, while the other is a standard strong resin. The goal is to see which material works better for this kind of repair.
This study compares two tooth-colored filling materials for cavities in the back baby teeth of children. It aims to see which material works better and lasts longer, helping to keep teeth healthy until they fall out naturally.
This study compares two materials used to treat deep cavities in permanent molars without causing pain. The goal is to see which material better protects the tooth's nerve and helps the tooth heal, potentially avoiding the need for a root canal.
This study compares how well a newer filling material (Cention-N) works in children's permanent back teeth that have cavities. It's for healthy children ages 8 to 10 who have cavities in both lower or both upper first molars.
