One bottle or two? dental adhesive showdown for cavity repair
NCT ID NCT07731061
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a one-bottle or a two-bottle HEMA-free dental adhesive works better for filling cavities on the front surfaces of teeth. About 50 adults with early to moderate cavities will receive a filling using one of the two adhesives. Researchers will check how well the fillings stay in place, how they look, and whether they cause sensitivity over a year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dental adhesive (one-bottle or two-bottle HEMA-free universal adhesive system)
- What this could lead to
- If one adhesive performs better, it could simplify cavity repair and improve long-term restoration success.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or tooth types.
