First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two types of tooth fillings for cavities between teeth. 23 adults received either a glass ionomer or a bulk-fill composite resin filling. The fillings were checked at regular visits over 4 years to see how well they held up. The goal was to find out which material performs better in real-world use.
