Which filling lasts best? new study tests 5 tooth repair materials
NCT ID NCT07518537
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test five different types of tooth-colored fillings (bulk-fill composites) in 70 adults who need a cavity filled. The fillings use different technologies, like heating or sound waves, to see which one works best. Dentists will check the fillings right after placement and again at 1, 6, and 12 months to see how they look, function, and affect the tooth and gums.
