NCT ID NCT07265830

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests different sequences of minimally invasive dental treatments—like silver diamine fluoride, sealants, and fluoride varnish—plus a hygiene program, to see which works best for children aged 5 to 13 in schools. The goal is to reduce the number of kids who don't respond to treatment and prevent new cavities. 1,200 children will take part across multiple schools.
