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 tests whether custom-made surgical guides, combined with a special cutting tool, can safely and accurately release a locked jaw joint (TMJ ankylosis) in children under 15. The approach uses 3D planning to precisely cut the bone and improve mouth opening. Early results …

This study compares two tools (piezotome and periotome) used for gentle tooth removal before placing a dental implant on the same day in the front upper jaw. Thirty adults with a damaged front tooth that cannot be saved will be randomly assigned to one of the two tools. The goal …

This study tests whether garlic tablets can prevent infections that patients sometimes get while in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers will give garlic tablets to some ICU patients and compare them to others who do not receive the tablets. The goal is to see if garlic can…

This study tests a new computer-guided method for injecting platelet-rich plasma into the jaw joint to treat pain and clicking. It involves 24 adults with jaw joint problems who haven't improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if the computer-guided approach improves ja…

This study tests whether adding N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to standard root canal treatment can reduce pain and improve healing in people with infected, dead teeth. Forty adults with mature teeth and signs of infection around the root tip will receive either NAC or a standard medicat…

This study looks at whether involving pregnant women in decisions about their planned C-section can lower the pain they feel during the operation. Researchers will compare standard care to a shared decision-making approach in 80 women. The goal is to improve the surgical experien…

This study looks at 50 adults having cataract surgery to see if using numbing eye drops (topical anesthesia) or full sleep (general anesthesia) leads to less pain after the operation. Researchers will check pain levels, side effects, and how satisfied patients are at 24 hours, on…

This study looks at whether using warm saline and adding local anesthetics during gallbladder surgery can lessen shoulder pain afterward. About 216 adults having planned gallbladder removal will take part. The goal is to find a simple way to improve comfort and recovery.

This study looks at whether watching short, educational videos (nano-learning) can help older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) stick to diet and exercise advice and improve their mood. Researchers are testing this approach with 180 people aged 60 and older in a ru…
