Comparing materials for protecting tooth nerves in deep cavities
This study compares three materials used to protect the nerve inside a deep cavity. If you have a deep cavity in a live tooth, you may be able to join and help find which material works best.
CairoAges 22–45 - NCT06685640Recruiting
Comparing metal and ceramic crowns for back baby teeth
This trial tests whether stainless steel or zirconia crowns work better for fixing cavities in children's back baby teeth after nerve treatment. It can help parents choose the best option for their child.

- How do I know if I qualify for a caries trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.

- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
