DENTAL CARIES

This study compares three different dental filling materials for deep cavities to see which works best. Researchers are testing high-viscosity glass ionomer, bulk-fill composite, and conventional composite materials in 110 patients with deep tooth decay. They will check how well …

This study is testing a new type of dental filling material that sets on its own and is designed to be bioactive, meaning it may help the tooth underneath it rebuild minerals. Researchers will compare it to a standard light-cured filling material in 12 patients, each with two cav…

This study compares two types of dental crowns for treating cavities in children's baby molars. Fifty healthy children aged 5-7 will receive either new custom-made PEEK plastic crowns or traditional stainless steel crowns. Researchers will check how well each crown holds up over …

This study aims to see how well a newer plastic-like dental filling material (BioHPP) holds up compared to a standard ceramic material when used for large fillings (onlays) in back teeth. Researchers will place these fillings in 40 participants' molars and track their performance…

This study compares three different fluoride gels to see which works best at stopping existing cavities and preventing new ones in young children. Researchers are testing these treatments on 90 healthy children who already have at least one visible cavity. The goal is to find eff…

This study is testing three different treatments to stop early-stage cavities in children's baby teeth without drilling. Researchers are comparing a fluoride varnish, a silver solution, and a special peptide gel to see which one best halts decay. The goal is to find effective, no…

This study compares two materials used to save baby teeth with deep cavities. In a procedure called a pulpotomy, dentists remove the infected part of the tooth's nerve and place a special material to help the healthy part heal. Researchers are testing a newer, easier-to-use bioce…

This study aims to see how well three new 'bioactive' dental filling materials perform over 9 months compared to a standard composite filling. It involved 20 people who each had two cavities in molars on the same side of their jaw. Researchers placed different fillings and checke…

This study is testing whether a device called BlueCheck can accurately detect early-stage tooth decay and track when teeth naturally repair themselves. Twelve adults will wear modified partial dentures containing small tooth samples for four weeks while using special toothpaste. …

This study is testing a new 3D scanner to see if it can find common tooth problems in children as well as a standard dental check-up. Researchers will compare the scanner's results against a dentist's visual exam for cavities, tooth wear, and fluorosis. The study involves 30 chil…

This study aims to find the best way to prevent cavities in school children in Uganda. Researchers will compare two approaches: giving children toothbrushes, toothpaste, and fluoride varnish versus providing education on nutrition and oral hygiene. The goal is to see which method…
