One shade fits all? new study tests Tooth-Colored fillings for injured Kids' teeth
NCT ID NCT07309653
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how well a single-shade composite resin matches the color of natural front teeth in children aged 6-15 who have lost part of a tooth from injury. Researchers will check color match and stability at 6 and 12 months, and ask kids and parents how satisfied they are with the look. The goal is to see if this simple approach works well for restoring damaged front teeth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- single-shade composite resin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a single-shade composite works well for matching tooth color in children, simplifying dental repairs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 23 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Color matching may not be perfect for all tooth shades.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Children who exhibit cooperative dental behaviours (rating 3 and 4) according to Frankl's behaviour rating scale (Frankl et al. 1962) * Presence of at least one maxillary anterior permanent tooth with one-third of crown structure loss from dental trauma * The affected tooth must be vital or have undergone vital pulp therapy (e.g., pulpotomy with Calcium hydroxide, white-MTA, or Biodentine) Exclusion Criteria: * Known allergy to methacrylate-based materials * Presence of parafunctional habits, such as bruxism * Presence of rampant caries * Presence of signs of hypomineralisation, such as post-eruptive breakdown, hypersensitivity, changes in enamel texture and hardness, and abnormal translucency on radiographs. * The affected tooth is classified as having moderate or severe discolouration according to Dean's fluorosis index (Dean, 1942) * The affected tooth has lost less than one-third of its coronal crown structure * The affected tooth has a fracture located at the subgingival margin * The affected tooth requires splinting due to the severity of the trauma * Presence of severe malocclusion that could compromise the integrity of the restoration
