New Self-Cure filling could simplify cavity repairs
NCT ID NCT07410468
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new type of dental filling that hardens on its own, without needing a special light. Researchers compared it to two other common filling materials in 60 cavities across 20 people. They checked the fillings at several points over one year to see how well they held up, looked, and affected the tooth and gums.
