ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of dental material called self-adhesive resin composite, which is used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay. The researchers want to find out how well this material sticks to teeth and how it holds its color over time, especially as people age. They will do this by comparing the results from laboratory tests with actual patient experiences in a clinical setting.

To participate in the trial, patients need to have a specific type of cavity in their back teeth and a certain tooth color, as well as good oral hygiene. They should also be willing to come back for follow-up appointments. However, individuals with certain conditions, like severe teeth grinding or untreated gum disease, will not be eligible to join. If you take part, you can expect regular check-ups to monitor the performance of the new dental material and help advance dental care for everyone.
