ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new dental adhesive called 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive (SBU+) to see if it works as well as an existing adhesive, Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive (SBU), for sealing dental fillings in back teeth. The study involves adult participants who need fillings for at least two back teeth that have cavities. One tooth will be treated with the new adhesive, and the other with the standard adhesive, with both receiving the same filling material.

To participate, individuals should be between 18 and 70 years old, in good overall health, and have at least two teeth that require fillings on the chewing surface or between teeth. Participants will need to be available for all study visits and must understand the study procedures. It’s important to note that certain conditions, like pregnancy or specific dental issues, may exclude a person from participating. Those who join the trial will help researchers determine if this new adhesive can improve dental restoration treatments.
