NCT ID NCT06771362

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at two different bulk-fill materials used to repair cavities in children's baby molars using a gentle, drill-free method called atraumatic restorative treatment (ART). Researchers treated 127 children aged 4-9 and checked the fillings at 3, 6, and 12 months to see how well they held up in terms of function, appearance, and tooth health. The goal is to find out which material works best for kids' teeth.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help dentists choose better materials for filling cavities in children's baby teeth, leading to longer-lasting and more comfortable restorations.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed study with only 127 children, and results may not apply to all kids or tooth types. The follow-up is only 12 months, so long-term success is unknown.
