Tooth repair showdown: which dental glue holds up best?
NCT ID NCT05361746
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two dental adhesives (glues) used to repair small, non-cavity tooth damage near the gums. 38 adults each had two damaged teeth fixed, one with each adhesive, to compare how well they stayed in place and sealed the tooth. The goal was to see which glue works better for long-lasting repairs.
