ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two types of materials used to fill cavities (also known as restorations) in the front teeth. Specifically, it will compare a new material called alkasite against a commonly used material known as resin modified glass ionomer. The goal is to see how well each material works over a year for patients who have certain types of cavities in their upper front teeth.

To participate in this study, individuals need to be between 30 and 40 years old and have specific types of cavities classified as Class V (which means they are located at the gum line). It's important that participants are healthy enough to take part and can understand and agree to the study. Throughout the year, participants will receive careful monitoring to assess how well the fillings hold up. This trial will help determine if the new alkasite material is as effective as the resin modified glass ionomer in treating these types of cavities.
