New injectable filling takes on Gold-Standard cavity treatment for kids
NCT ID NCT07552129
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two treatments for cavities in children's back baby teeth. One uses a new injectable bioactive filling material, and the other uses the Hall Technique (placing a metal crown without drilling). About 50 children aged 3-8 with moderate cavities will be followed for 12 months to see which treatment lasts longer and works better.
