NCT ID NCT07605689
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways to remove cavities in children's baby molars: a special gel that softens decay, versus scraping by hand. The goal is to see which method causes less pain and is more acceptable to kids. Twenty-eight healthy children aged 5 to 9 will take part, and their pain will be measured using a simple 0-to-10 scale.

- If it works, this could offer a less painful way to treat cavities in children, reducing fear and discomfort during dental visits.
