Comparing two types of dental materials for treating cervical cavities
Clinical Evaluation of Self-Adhesive Bulk-Fill Composite Versus Conventional Nano-hybrid Composite in Cervical Cavities - A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
NA · Misr International University · NCT06394440
This study is testing whether a new type of dental material works better than a traditional one for treating cavities in the neck of teeth over six months.

What this trial studies
This clinical evaluation aims to compare the clinical performance of self-adhesive bulk-fill composite with conventional nano-hybrid composite in treating cervical caries over a six-month period. Patients will be randomly selected from Dental Clinics at Misr International University in Cairo, and informed consent will be obtained prior to participation. A total of 54 cervical lesions will be restored using the assigned materials, with randomization performed by an independent contributor. The study will also assess patient satisfaction and the total operatory time for each material used.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 60 with cervical lesions between 1 mm and 3 mm in depth.
Not a fit: Patients with signs of pulpitis, those under 18 or over 60, and individuals with certain dental conditions will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved dental restoration techniques and enhanced patient satisfaction.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have been conducted, the specific comparison of self-adhesive bulk-fill composite versus conventional nano-hybrid composite in this context is relatively novel.
