Dental adhesive showdown: which bond lasts longer?
NCT ID NCT05497583
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed trial tested two types of dental adhesives (acetone-based vs. isopropanol-based) for filling non-carious cervical lesions—tooth wear not caused by decay. Twenty-eight adults received fillings and were followed for 18 months to see which adhesive held up better. The goal was to find a more durable bond to improve long-term dental restoration success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Acetone-based HEMA-free universal adhesive and isopropanol-based HEMA-free universal adhesive
- What this could lead to
- If one adhesive performs better, it could lead to more durable dental fillings for non-carious lesions, reducing the need for replacements.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The outcome focuses on short-term durability, not long-term success.
