DENTAL CARIES

This study compares three different fluoride gels to see which works best at stopping existing cavities and preventing new ones in young children. Researchers are testing these treatments on 90 healthy children who already have at least one visible cavity. The goal is to find eff…

This study aims to see if a new type of self-curing, bioactive dental filling material wears down more slowly and helps strengthen the underlying tooth better than a common standard filling. Researchers will place one of each type of filling in 12 patients with two cavities and t…

This study is testing three different treatments to stop early-stage cavities in children's baby teeth without drilling. Researchers are comparing a fluoride varnish, a silver solution, and a special peptide gel to see which one best halts decay. The goal is to find effective, no…

This study is comparing two types of caps (crowns) used to treat large cavities in children's back baby teeth. Fifty children will receive either a new plastic (PEEK) crown made with computer design or a traditional stainless steel crown. Researchers will check how well each crow…

This study compares two materials used to save baby teeth with deep cavities. In a procedure called a pulpotomy, dentists remove the infected part of the tooth's nerve and place a special material to help the healthy part heal. Researchers are testing a newer, easier-to-use bioce…

This study aims to find out which of three common dental filling materials works best for deep cavities over a one-year period. It will compare a high-viscosity glass ionomer, a bulk-fill composite, and a conventional composite resin. The study involves 110 adults with good oral …

This study aims to see how well two modern dental materials work for repairing large cavities in back teeth. Researchers will compare a high-tech plastic (BioHPP) to a strong ceramic material by placing custom-made fillings in 40 participants. They will check how well each materi…

This study aims to see how well three new 'bioactive' dental filling materials perform over 9 months compared to a standard composite filling. It involved 20 people who each had two cavities in molars on the same side of their jaw. Researchers placed different fillings and checke…

This study is testing whether a device called BlueCheck can accurately detect early-stage tooth decay and track when teeth naturally repair themselves. Twelve adults will wear modified partial dentures containing small tooth samples for four weeks while using special toothpaste. …

This study is testing a new 3D scanner to see if it can find common tooth problems in children as well as a standard dental check-up. Researchers will compare the scanner's results against a dentist's visual exam for cavities, tooth wear, and fluorosis. The study involves 30 chil…

This study aims to find the best way to prevent cavities in school children in Uganda. Researchers will compare two approaches: giving children toothbrushes, toothpaste, and fluoride varnish versus providing education on nutrition and oral hygiene. The goal is to see which method…
