Summary
This study tests a dental procedure called Deep Marginal Elevation (DME) in 36 adults with deep cavities. DME uses a special cement to raise the cavity margin, making it easier to clean and restore. Researchers will check gum fluid and X-rays to see if the procedure affects gum inflammation and bone health over one month.
