First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests if applying silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to children's weak-enamel molars before a filling helps the numbing shot work better and reduces pain. About 50 kids with a condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) will be randomly assigned to get SDF or a placebo before their dental procedure. The goal is to make dental visits less painful for children with this common enamel problem.
