ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of heating dental materials used to fill cavities, specifically looking at a type of resin called composite. The researchers want to find out if preheating this material makes a difference in how long it lasts when used in patients' mouths. Participants will receive treatment for cavities in their back teeth (premolars and molars) and will return for check-ups at various times over a year to see how well the fillings are holding up.

To be eligible for this study, participants should have all their permanent teeth, maintain a good oral hygiene score, be non-smokers, and follow a healthy diet. They should also have specific types of cavities that are not too deep. If you participate, you'll have the opportunity to help advance dental care while receiving treatment for your cavities. The study is currently looking for volunteers, and both men and women aged between 65 and 74 are welcome to apply.
