About this trial
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) wet bonding has shown promising results in several in vitro studies. However, there are a lack of clinical trials which prove the advantages of this technique. The aim of the study is to clinically assess the effect of DMSO wet bonding on composite restoration in non carious cervical lesions.
