NCT ID NCT07707323
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares three ways to match the shade of a tooth for a filling: a new computer software that analyzes dental photos, a digital spectrophotometer, and the traditional visual method. Researchers will enroll 52 adults with healthy front teeth to see which method agrees most with the actual shade. The goal is to find a more accurate and reliable technique for dental restorations.
