Dental filling showdown: which closes tooth gaps best?
NCT ID NCT07267143
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two types of tooth-colored fillings to close multiple gaps between front teeth. 45 adults received either a thick injectable filling or a standard front-tooth filling. After one year, dentists checked how well each filling worked and looked. The goal was to see which material gives better results for closing gaps.
