Dental adhesive showdown: which glue best repairs worn teeth?
NCT ID NCT04481087
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares five different ways of using dental adhesives to repair worn teeth near the gum line (called non-carious cervical lesions). Thirty-four adults each received multiple fillings using different adhesive methods. The fillings were then checked after two years for how well they stayed in place, any staining, and other signs of wear. The goal is to find out which adhesive technique works best for this common dental problem.
