DENTAL CARIES

This study tests two materials—ferric sulphate and a newer putty MTA—for a common dental procedure in children's baby teeth. The goal is to find a treatment that works well without the risks linked to older chemicals. Sixty healthy children will take part, and the study will chec…

This study compares new tooth-colored PEEK crowns to standard metal crowns for fixing cavities in children's back baby teeth. Fifty healthy kids aged 5-7 will get one of the two crown types. Researchers will check how well the crowns fit and hold up over time.

This study looks at how well glass ionomer fillings hold up in children's baby teeth over two years. It compares two methods: one done in a classroom (ART) and one in a mobile clinic. The goal is to see which approach is more cost-effective and keeps the fillings intact longer. A…

This study looks at two common treatments for deep cavities in baby teeth: ferric sulfate and sodium hypochlorite. Researchers will check how well each treatment works over 2 years in 56 children aged 4-9. The goal is to find which option keeps teeth healthy and pain-free until t…

This study tests three different fluoride gels—silver diamine fluoride, sodium fluoride with CPP-ACP, and acidulated phosphate fluoride—to see which one works best at stopping and preventing cavities in young children. About 90 healthy kids with at least one untreated cavity will…

This study tests whether non-invasive treatments like silver diamine fluoride, a self-assembling peptide, or fluoride varnish can stop or reverse early cavities in children's baby teeth. About 90 kids aged 4-10 with early, non-cavity lesions will receive one of these treatments. …

This study tests two types of dental onlays (custom-made tooth covers) for repairing large cavities in back teeth. Forty adults received onlays made from either a high-performance polymer (BioHPP) or a ceramic (lithium disilicate). Researchers will check how well each material ma…

This study compares a new self-hardening bioactive filling material to a standard one for treating cavities in back teeth. About 25 people with two decayed molars will get each type of filling. Researchers will use 3D scans and X-rays over two years to see which filling resists w…

This study tests a blue dye called BlueCheck to see if it can find early tooth decay and track how well it heals. Twelve adults will wear special dentures with tooth enamel samples for 28 days. The dye's results will be compared to standard methods to see if it offers a simple, a…

This study looks at whether giving school children in Uganda toothbrushes, toothpaste, and lessons on brushing can prevent cavities. About 610 children aged 5 to 17 will take part. Researchers will compare the oral health of kids who get these tools and follow-up care with those …

This study looks at three types of dental fillings for deep cavities: high-viscosity glass ionomer, bulk-fill composite, and conventional composite. Researchers want to see which one performs best over time. The study involves 110 adults with deep tooth decay but healthy teeth an…

This study compares three new bioactive dental filling materials to a standard composite resin for treating cavities in back teeth. Twenty patients with two cavities on each side of the same jaw received different fillings, which were checked at 3, 6, and 9 months for function, a…
