What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new dental product, Solventum™ Vitrebond™ Pulp Protect Liner/Base, to determine if it protects teeth during fillings better than the existing product, Vitrebond™ Plus. The focus is on teeth with moderate or advanced decay, using the product as a protective layer between the tooth and the filling. Suitable candidates for this trial have at least one permanent tooth with noticeable decay but no existing pain or trauma. Participants will attend regular follow-ups to assess the product's effectiveness and comfort over a year. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to contribute to dental research and potentially benefit from an innovative treatment.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but if you have a history of chronic use of anti-inflammatory, pain, or mind-altering drugs, you may not be eligible to participate.

What prior data suggests that this dental product is safe?

Research shows that Solventum™ Vitrebond™ Pulp Protect Liner/Base has undergone safety testing for dental procedures. Although not tested for every possible use, studies have not identified any major safety issues. Users have not experienced significant side effects, indicating good tolerance.

Vitrebond™ Plus Light Cure Glass Ionomer Liner/Base is already available for dental treatments, demonstrating a history of safety in similar situations.

In this trial, both products will serve as a liner or base under dental fillings. Safety data from past research and the current use of Vitrebond Plus suggest these treatments are generally safe for most people. However, minor side effects like temporary sensitivity may occur. Discuss any concerns with a dentist or healthcare professional.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Solventum™ Vitrebond™ Pulp Protect Liner/Base is unique because it offers a novel approach to protecting teeth affected by decay. Unlike standard treatments like dental fillings or sealants that mainly focus on filling cavities, this treatment is designed to act as a protective liner or base, which may enhance the tooth's defense against further decay. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it could provide an additional layer of protection and potentially improve the longevity of dental restorations. By targeting the tooth's pulp directly, this treatment might offer a more comprehensive protective measure compared to traditional methods.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for tooth decay?

Research shows that Solventum™ Vitrebond™ Pulp Protect Liner/Base, which participants in this trial may receive, may help protect the tooth's pulp. This product creates a barrier between the tooth and the filling, helping to prevent sensitivity and further decay. Early results suggest it effectively protects teeth with moderate to advanced decay by providing a stable base for fillings. It can also be used for direct pulp capping, a procedure that protects the exposed inner part of the tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels. While specific data on this new product is still being gathered, existing studies support using a liner/base to reduce tooth sensitivity and decay.12346
