ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of dental adhesive called a 2-steps universal adhesive, specifically for individuals with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). These lesions are areas of wear or damage on the teeth that aren’t caused by cavities. The main goal of the study is to see how well this new adhesive works when applied using different techniques for preparing the tooth surface. Participants will receive dental restorations using this adhesive while trying out one of three methods of etching the tooth: etch-and-rinse, selective enamel etching, or self-etch.

To join the trial, participants need to be between the ages of 65 and 74, have at least 28 teeth (or 20 that are functioning properly), and have at least three non-cavity cervical lesions that are not close to the pulp (the inner part of the tooth). They should also be able to come in for follow-up visits. However, people with serious dental issues, those who smoke heavily, or those with certain health conditions may not be eligible. Participants can expect to have their dental restoration done and monitored over time to see how well the adhesive performs. This study is currently recruiting, and it’s a great opportunity to contribute to understanding better dental treatment options.
