NCT ID NCT07540299
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether applying a dipotassium oxalate gel before placing a filling can reduce tooth sensitivity afterward. 64 adults with sensitive tooth cavities will be randomly assigned to get the gel or standard treatment. Pain is measured at 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days using a simple scale.
