This study tests whether a special silver liquid (SDF 38%) can stop tooth decay in elderly people living in nursing homes. Sixty participants will either get the silver treatment or a placebo, and their cavities will be checked after 6 and 12 months. The goal is to see if this si…

This study compares toothpaste tablets to a standard toothpaste to see if they are equally good at removing plaque and keeping gums healthy. Fifty adults will use one of the two products for six weeks. Researchers will measure plaque, gum inflammation, and cavities before and aft…

This study will test two different tooth-colored filling materials for cavities between baby molars in children aged 3 to 8. One is a newer injectable bioactive composite, and the other is a standard resin-modified glass ionomer. The goal is to see which one holds up better over …

This study tests a new injectable tooth-colored filling against the Hall Technique (placing a metal crown without drilling) for cavities in children's back baby teeth. About 50 kids aged 3-8 with moderate cavities will be treated and followed for one year to see which method last…

This study looks at different sequences of minimally invasive treatments for tooth decay in children aged 5 to 13. The goal is to find the best approach to reduce the number of children who do not respond to treatment. The study will take place in schools and involve 1,200 partic…

This study tests whether a probiotic spray (LiveSpo Smile CARE) can safely prevent and help treat cavities in children. About 130 kids aged 7-10 will use the spray or a placebo twice daily for 3 months, alongside standard dental care. The goal is to see if the spray reduces harmf…

This study compares the Hall Technique—a method of placing stainless steel crowns without removing tooth structure—to the traditional method for treating cavities in children's permanent first molars. Ten children will receive crowns using one of the two techniques, and researche…

This study will test four different tooth-filling materials in 92 children aged 4-8 who have cavities in their baby molars. The goal is to see which filling lasts longest and works best. Children will be randomly assigned to one of the four materials, and their fillings will be c…

This study compares a single-color flowable composite resin to multi-color composite resins for filling cavities in back teeth. Researchers want to see if the simpler material can match tooth color just as well and last as long. Thirty adults with at least four cavities will be f…

This study will test two types of dental crowns—Bioflx (tooth-colored) and stainless steel (silver)—in children aged 6 to 9 who have had root treatment on their back baby teeth. Researchers will measure how the crowns affect bite force and jaw height over 4 weeks, and ask parents…

This study tests whether applying a desensitizing agent called Gluma before placing a filling can reduce tooth sensitivity afterward. Sixty adults with cavities in their back teeth will be randomly assigned to get either the standard filling or the filling plus Gluma. Their pain …

This study looks at how two types of dental cement used for stainless steel crowns affect gum health in 45 children aged 6-10. Researchers measured gum inflammation markers before and one week after placing the crowns. The goal is to see if one cement causes less gum irritation t…

This study looks at how obesity is linked to oral health problems like gum disease and cavities. Researchers will follow 400 adults who are getting weight-loss treatment (diet or surgery) and check their mouth health over 18 months. The goal is to see if losing weight improves de…

This study looks at how placing stainless steel crowns on weak permanent molars (due to a condition called MIH) affects a child's bite and jaw function. Forty-six children will have their teeth scanned before, right after, and up to 3 months after getting a crown. The goal is to …

This study will look at the teeth, mouth, face, and quality of life of 25 people with Mowat-Wilson syndrome, a rare genetic condition. Researchers will measure things like cavities, jaw alignment, and facial shape using photos and scans. The goal is to better understand the denta…
