This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study looks at two simple methods to help local anesthesia work better for children aged 6-12 with a condition called Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), which makes teeth sensitive and hard to numb. Researchers will apply either silver diamine fluoride or a cold pack to the gum before giving a standard dental injection, then measure pain during treatment. The goal is to find a way to reduce discomfort and anxiety for these kids during dental procedures.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and intraoral cryotherapy (cold application)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to make dental procedures less painful for children with MIH, improving their experience and cooperation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (75 children) that hasn't started yet. Results may not apply to all cases, and the benefits might be modest or not statistically significant.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 75 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged between 6 and 12 years. * Systemically healthy children with no medical conditions that could interfere with dental treatment. * Presence of at least one permanent first molar affected by molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), diagnosed according to the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) criteria. * Teeth with caries lesions classified as ICDAS II codes 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. * Children with an adequate level of cooperation to allow completion of dental treatment under clinical conditions. * Children and their parents/legal guardians who have read, understood, and signed the informed consent form and agreed to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Teeth that are not restorable. * Children with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any materials used in the study, including local anesthetics, silver diamine fluoride, or restorative materials. * Presence of spontaneous pain, percussion sensitivity, or other signs/symptoms of pulpal pathology in the study tooth. * Children with systemic diseases or conditions that could affect pain perception, healing, or cooperation during dental treatment. * Children who are unable or unwilling to complete the clinical procedure.
