Which filling holds up better in diabetic teeth? a Head-to-Head trial
NCT ID NCT07731308
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two types of tooth-colored fillings—zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer and injectable giomer—for cavities on the side of the tooth (Class V) in adults with and without type 2 diabetes. Researchers will track how well each filling stays in place, how it looks, and whether it causes sensitivity over 18 months. The goal is to see if one material works better for people with diabetes, who may have different dental needs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- two dental filling materials: zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer (Zirconomer) and injectable giomer (Beautifil Flow Plus X)
- What this could lead to
- If one material proves more durable, it could lead to better cavity treatments for people with diabetes, who often have higher dental risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 restorations, and results may not apply to all patients or cavity types. Both materials could perform similarly.
