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.
