Summary
This study tests whether a special iodine gel applied to teeth can prevent new cavities in children aged 2 to 6 who have severe early childhood cavities. After dental surgery, children will receive either the iodine gel plus fluoride varnish or a placebo plus fluoride varnish every 3 months for 2 years. The goal is to see if the iodine gel helps keep cavities from returning.
