ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into different types of dental fillings to see which ones work better for patients who are at a high risk of tooth decay. Specifically, it will compare two new types of resin composites—S-PRG based and Alkasite based—to traditional resin fillings. The study will focus on filling cavities in the back teeth (molars) that are not too deep and will follow the patients for one year to see how well these fillings hold up.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult between the ages of 21 and 50 who has a high risk of cavities and is likely to return for follow-up visits. Only certain kinds of back teeth with specific types of decay will be included in the study. However, if you have any serious health issues, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have certain dental conditions, you may not be eligible to join. If you decide to take part, you can expect to have your cavity treated with one of the filling materials and will be asked to return for check-ups to see how well it is working over time.
