ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a method to improve the repair of dental fillings, specifically looking at a special substance called a silane coupling agent. This agent can help bond materials better when fixing damaged areas of teeth that have issues like discoloration or sensitivity. Researchers want to see if applying this agent separately helps the repaired fillings last longer compared to using it in special adhesives. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of these repairs over the course of a year.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 18 and 45 years old and have healthy teeth with small defects in their dental fillings that were placed 12 to 24 months ago. It's important that they maintain good oral hygiene and are likely to return for follow-up visits. However, individuals with high risk for cavities, poor gum health, or certain other dental issues would not qualify. Participants can expect to have their dental repairs assessed during the study, and they will be contributing to important research that could improve dental care for many people.
