New filling material could help teeth heal themselves
NCT ID NCT06348953
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested two types of fillings for deep cavities in back teeth: a new bioactive material and a standard non-bioactive one. Fifty adults aged 18-40 with deep cavities were treated using a technique that removes only the decayed part. The researchers checked tooth sensitivity, vitality, and filling condition over 18 months to see which material worked better.
