This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested a new dental filling material that hardens in just 3 seconds with a special light, compared to standard fillings that take up to 40 seconds. Fifty-one adults with cavities or old fillings needing replacement received both types of fillings in different teeth. The goal was to see if the fast-curing material works just as well over two years, focusing on tooth sensitivity and overall quality.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Tetric PowerFill / Tetric PowerFlow (fast-curing dental composite)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to faster and more convenient dental fillings that require less time in the dentist's chair.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 51 participants. The new material may not be as durable or effective as standard fillings in the long term.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Each subject must need at least 2 restorations in a vital posterior tooth (in different quadrants) * Restorations may be indicated for caries removal and restoration, replacement of defec-tive restorations (i.e. fractured, stained, unaesthetic), or requested replacement of un-aesthetic restorations. * Must have given written consent to participate in the trial * Must be available for the required follow-up visits over 2 years * Restored teeth must have occlusal contact with opposing teeth or restored teeth * Restoration width should be equal to or greater than 1/3 the distance from buccal to lin-gual cusp tips * 75% of the restorations Class II (minimum) and 25% Class I * One, two or three surfaces per restoration * Each Class II will have at least one proximal contact * 75% in molars (minimum) and 25% in premolars * All restored teeth must have at least one occlusal contact in habitual closure * Must have 20 or more teeth with evidence of bilateral posterior tooth contacts * Teeth that require one or no cuspal build-ups * Vital tooth * Preoperative sensibility on the teeth to be treated at maximum 3 on visual analog scale (10 = maximum) * Patient wishes to be treated in this clinical trial after oral information by the operator and after signing the informed patient form Exclusion Criteria: * Allergies to ingredients of the materials under investigation (monomers) * Do not meet all inclusion criteria above * Have medical complications (organ transplants, long term antibiotic or steroid treatment, cancer or are immunocompromised) or disabilities rendering them unable to tolerate the time required to complete the restorations or to provide adequate oral hygiene * Suffer from xerostomia either by taking medications known to produce xerostomia or those with radiation induced xerostomia or Sjogren's syndrome subjects * Have teeth with advanced or severe periodontitis, rampant caries or poor oral hygiene which may require extraction of the teeth to be restored * Present with any systemic or local disorders that contraindicate the dental procedures included in this study * Patients reporting having severe grinding/bruxing or clenching or in need of TMJ-related therapy * Have tooth with exposed pulp during preparation or caries removal or require indirect pulp capping * Inclusion of teeth that are non-vital or that exhibit signs of pulpal pathology (pulpitis) * If the working field cannot be maintained in a dry state for treatment
