Evaluating color matching of single-shade dental composites
Official title: Clinical and Subjective Evaluations of a Universal-Shade, Color Adjusting Resin Composite in Anterior Tooth Restorations: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by King Abdullah University Hospital · NCT06884787 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a new single-shade dental material can match the color of front teeth as well as traditional multi-shade materials to see which one looks better to patients and dentists.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older requiring restorations on at least two anterior teeth with good oral hygiene.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe tooth discoloration, periodontal disease, or those undergoing orthodontic treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of single-shade resin-based composites (RBCs) in matching the color of anterior teeth compared to conventional multi-shade composites. Using spectrophotometric analysis, the research aims to objectively measure shade matching and assess patient and clinician satisfaction with the aesthetic results. A total of 240 teeth will be treated, with participants receiving both types of restorations to allow for direct comparison. The study employs a double-blind design to ensure unbiased evaluations of the materials used.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved aesthetic outcomes in dental restorations, enhancing patient satisfaction.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar approaches in enhancing aesthetic outcomes in dental restorations.
