ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying two different methods for finishing dental restorations, which are repairs made to teeth affected by cavities. The researchers want to find out how well these restorations perform when the cavity walls are finished using a new technique with air abrasion particles made from bioactive glass, compared to the traditional method using a diamond stone. They will look at various outcomes, such as how sensitive the tooth is after treatment, how well the restoration fits, any changes in color, the chances of new cavities forming, and how well the restoration stays in place.
To participate in this study, candidates need to have good oral hygiene and not have any habits that could affect their teeth, like grinding or clenching. They'll also need to be willing to join the study and not have any known allergies to the materials being tested. Unfortunately, people with certain medical conditions or those who experience dry mouth won’t be eligible. Participants can expect to receive dental care while helping researchers learn more about the best ways to finish dental restorations, which could improve future treatments for cavities.
