This study will test a new injectable tooth-colored filling against the Hall Technique (placing a metal crown without drilling) for fixing cavities in children's back baby teeth. About 50 children aged 3-8 with early to moderate cavities will be treated and followed for one year …

This study tests different sequences of minimally invasive dental treatments given at school to reduce tooth decay in children aged 5 to 13. The goal is to find the best personalized approach so fewer kids have cavities or need more intensive care. About 1,200 children from parti…

This study compares two types of dental crowns for children aged 6 to 9 who have had a root treatment on a back baby tooth. One crown is made of a flexible material called Bioflx, and the other is a standard stainless steel crown. Researchers will measure how the crowns affect bi…

This study compares two ways of placing stainless steel crowns on children's permanent back teeth to treat cavities. The Hall Technique skips drilling and numbing, while the conventional method uses local anesthesia and tooth preparation. Ten children will be followed for six mon…

This study tests two different dental filling materials—a new injectable bioactive composite and a standard glass ionomer—in children aged 3 to 8 years with cavities in their back baby teeth. The goal is to see which filling does a better job at preventing new decay and staying i…

This study tests a probiotic spray (LiveSpo Smile CARE) to prevent and treat cavities in 130 children aged 7-10. Kids will spray it in their mouths twice daily for 3 months. The goal is to see if it safely reduces harmful bacteria and slows cavity growth, alongside standard denta…
