Gum inflammation markers differ by dental cement type in kids
NCT ID NCT07421206
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how two types of dental cement used to attach stainless steel crowns affect gum health in 45 children aged 6-10. Researchers measured gum inflammation and certain immune markers before and one week after placing the crowns. The goal is to see if one cement causes less gum irritation than the other.
