First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tested whether closing small gaps (less than 2 mm) between the two front teeth using tooth-colored fillings improves how people feel about their oral health and reduces fear of the dentist. Forty adults with no prior dental work on those teeth received the treatment in one visit. They filled out questionnaires before and three months after the procedure to measure changes in dental anxiety and quality of life.
