Active
Clinical Trials
In this study we
are comparing two
tooth-colored filling
materials for teens over
a period of 3 years.
Both materials are
FDA-approved and are
used daily in dental
practices.
Our team is interested to
compare how these fillings
are holding up under the
same circumstances.
Therefore, we are studying
two back teeth in the same
mouth. Each of them will
be filled with one of the
two materials. The
materials are called
'glass ionomers'. One
material has already been
in use for over 16 years
and has a history of
success. Patients and
dentists like it very
much. The other one is a
newer version of it. We
want to find out if there
is much improvement in the
newer version over the
older material.
Dr. Suzanne Fournier,
our Postgraduate Program
Director in Pediatric
Dentistry, is the
Co-Principal Investigator
and is leading the study.
She is the only
team-member placing the
fillings, while the other
team members will be
evaluating the fillings as
they serve for 3 years.
