DENTAL CARIES

This study looks at two common treatments for tooth decay in children's baby molars: ferric sulfate and sodium hypochlorite. Researchers will check how well each treatment works over 2 years by looking for pain, infection, or other problems. The goal is to help dentists choose th…

This study looks at how well glass ionomer fillings hold up in children's baby teeth over two years. About 200 kids aged 4 to 8 in rural South Africa will get fillings either in a classroom or a mobile clinic. The goal is to see which method works better and costs less.

This study tests two types of dental onlays (custom-made tooth covers) for repairing large cavities in back teeth. Forty adults received onlays made from either a high-performance polymer (BioHPP) or a ceramic (lithium disilicate). Researchers will check how well each material ma…

This study tests three different fluoride gels—silver diamine fluoride, sodium fluoride with CPP-ACP, and acidulated phosphate fluoride—to see which one best stops and prevents cavities in young children. About 90 healthy kids with at least one untreated cavity will take part. Th…

This study compares a new self-cured bioactive filling material to a standard one for treating deep cavities in back teeth. Twenty-five patients with two decayed molars will receive one of each filling. Researchers will measure how well the fillings resist wear over two years and…

This study compares new tooth-colored PEEK crowns to standard metal crowns for fixing cavities in children's back teeth. Fifty healthy kids aged 5-7 will receive either the new or standard crown. Researchers will check how well the crowns hold up over time using dental exams and …

This study compared three new bioactive filling materials to a standard composite resin for treating cavities in back teeth. Twenty people with two cavities on opposite sides of the same jaw received different fillings. Researchers checked the fillings at 3, 6, and 9 months to se…

This study tests two materials—ferric sulphate and a newer putty MTA—for treating deep cavities in children's baby teeth. The goal is to see which works better at preserving the tooth and avoiding harm. Sixty healthy children will take part, and the results will help dentists cho…

This study tests three different treatments (silver diamine fluoride, a self-assembling peptide, and fluoride varnish) to see if they can stop early cavities in baby teeth from getting worse. About 90 children aged 4-10 with early, non-cavity holes between their teeth will receiv…

This study tests a blue dye called BlueCheck to see if it can find early tooth decay and track how well it heals. Twelve adults will wear special dentures with tooth enamel samples for 28 days. The dye's results will be compared to standard methods to see if it offers a simple, a…

This study looks at whether giving school children in Uganda toothbrushes, toothpaste, and lessons on brushing can prevent cavities and other mouth problems. About 610 children aged 5 to 17 will take part. Some will get the cleaning tools and follow-up, while others will not, so …

This study compares three types of dental fillings—high-viscosity glass ionomer, bulk-fill composite, and conventional composite—in deep cavities. Researchers want to see which material performs best and is safest for the tooth's nerve. The study involves 110 adults with deep cav…
