Are there better adhesives out there these days?

Off topic, but a filling fell out (big hole, right at the back), went
to the dentist expecting injections, drilling, etching and all the
rest.
However, my previous dentist has retired and a new dolly dentist saw
to me.
She told her assistant to mix a big ball of something, bunged it in
the hole, shaped it with her fingers and said "OK, that's it". Two
minutes!
Does anybody know what it is?

On a similar subject, anyone know how grab adhesives work? Some of the
newer ones like 'Serious Stuff' etc are simply incredible.

Also, about 25 years ago at work, a Bostik rep. called in with an adhesive
that could work on slightly greasy metal - in fact it worked better on that
than on degreased metals.
I've never seen it advertised anywhere, so perhaps it didn't fulfill its
promise.
