This multicenter trial tests whether three ultrasound measurements of the eye — the optic nerve sheath diameter, optic disc elevation, and the crescent sign — can accurately identify increased intracranial pressure. Researchers will compare these bedside ultrasound findings with …

This study compares two ways of numbing a child's tooth for a root canal on a baby molar: a computer-controlled system that delivers anesthetic slowly and steadily, versus a traditional injection. The goal is to see which method causes less anxiety and pain in children aged 6 to …

Dental injections are a major source of fear for children, but numbing gels and sprays may help. This study compares four common topical anesthetics—benzocaine spray, benzocaine gel, lidocaine spray, and lidocaine gel—to see which one best reduces pain and anxiety in 160 children…

This study investigates whether long-term use of H1 antihistamines (common allergy medications) is linked to changes in the jawbone structure of children aged 8 to 10. By analyzing dental X-rays, researchers will compare bone complexity and thickness in three groups: children on …

This study investigates whether certain jawbone measurements, taken from CT scans, can predict the presence of a small nerve canal in the lower jaw. Researchers will compare CT images from adults who have this canal on one side of their jaw, looking at the size of the main jaw ca…

This study looks at how different numbing techniques affect dental anxiety and pain in children aged 8-10 who need a specific tooth treatment (vital pulp therapy) on their permanent back teeth. It compares the standard numbing injection with two computer-controlled delivery syste…

This study looks at whether the habit of nail biting is linked to changes in the jawbone's structure. Researchers will examine existing dental X-rays from children aged 8 to 10, comparing those who bite their nails with those who don't. Using special imaging analysis, they will m…

This study looks at whether the length of dental education is linked to bad breath (halitosis), oral hygiene habits, and stress levels among dental students. Researchers will compare first-year and fifth-year dental students, measuring breath odor using both professional sniffing…

This study looks at whether a rare, jagged shape of a small bone inside the nose (the inferior turbinate) is linked to thickening of the lining in the nearby maxillary sinus. Researchers will review existing cone-beam CT scans from adults aged 18-75 to compare sinus and nasal fea…

This observational study looks at whether eating a diet that causes inflammation can make gum disease worse in people with metabolic syndrome. About 100 adults with metabolic syndrome will have their gum health checked and their diet analyzed using a special inflammation score. T…

This observational study looks at whether eating lots of ultra-processed foods (like chips, soda, and packaged snacks) is linked to cavities and gum disease. Researchers will track the diets and oral health of 200 adults aged 18 to 65. No treatments or changes are given—just care…

This observational study looks at whether a diet that promotes inflammation can make gum disease worse in people with chronic kidney disease. Researchers will assess the diets and gum health of 100 adults with kidney disease. The goal is to understand if eating more inflammatory …

This study looks at how metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and blood sugar) might make gum disease worse. Researchers will measure gum inflammation in 100 adults and compare it to their metabolic health. The goal is to see if a simple gum measure…

This study will examine 60 adults with psoriasis to understand why they often have higher rates of gum disease. Researchers will measure immune-related proteins and stress hormones in saliva and gum fluid, and also ask about appearance-related anxiety. The goal is to uncover biol…
