Can a chill and a silver solution make dental shots less painful for kids?
NCT ID NCT07326241
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at two simple methods to help local anesthesia work better for children aged 6-12 with a condition called Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), which makes teeth sensitive and hard to numb. Researchers will apply either silver diamine fluoride or a cold pack to the gum before giving a standard dental injection, then measure pain during treatment. The goal is to find a way to reduce discomfort and anxiety for these kids during dental procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and intraoral cryotherapy (cold application)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to make dental procedures less painful for children with MIH, improving their experience and cooperation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (75 children) that hasn't started yet. Results may not apply to all cases, and the benefits might be modest or not statistically significant.
