NCT ID NCT07250022
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 212 children aged 4-9 with cavities in their baby teeth. After a simple filling procedure, dentists will use three different methods to check for any leftover decay: a special light (FACE), a dye, and a visual-tactile exam. The goal is to see which method is most accurate at finding hidden decay, so dentists can make better treatment decisions.
