ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two types of dental adhesives used in fillings for back teeth affected by cavities. The goal is to see how well a new type of adhesive that does not contain HEMA (a specific chemical) performs compared to a traditional adhesive that does contain HEMA over the course of one year. Researchers are using special criteria to evaluate the success of these fillings, ensuring they are effective and safe for patients.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be between 19 and 35 years old and have cavities in their molars that are classified as moderate to severe. However, certain individuals cannot participate, including those who are pregnant, have certain health issues, or have a history of allergies to specific dental materials. If someone joins the trial, they can expect to receive a dental filling using one of the adhesives being tested and will be monitored over the year to assess how well the filling holds up. This research could help improve dental care options in the future!
