ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different methods to treat deep cavities in teeth that are located below the gum line. The study is comparing a technique called "deep marginal acquisition using a thermacut bur" with another method known as "functional crown lengthening." The goal is to find out which method is more effective for treating these deep carious lesions.

If you are an adult aged 18 or older and have at least one deep cavity in your teeth, you may be eligible to participate. To join, you should be able to maintain good oral hygiene and understand the consent process. Participants will receive one of the two treatment methods and will help researchers learn more about which approach works better. It's important to note that people with certain health conditions, disabilities, or cognitive impairments will not be able to take part in this study. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so if you're interested or want more information, you can reach out to the research team.
