Which filling lasts best? study puts three Tooth-Colored materials to the test
NCT ID NCT06211582
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested three different tooth-colored filling materials for cavities on the sides of teeth (Class II cavities). 47 healthy adults received fillings and were checked after 6 months and 1 year. Dentists rated the fillings on appearance, fit, and any problems like staining or cracks. The goal was to see which material works best in everyday use.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dental filling materials (Cention N, Equia Forte HT, Gradia Direct Posterior)
- What this could lead to
- If one material performs better, dentists may have a clearer choice for long-lasting, natural-looking fillings.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 47 people. Results may not apply to everyone, and longer-term effects beyond one year are unknown.
