This study compares how well a newer filling material (Cention-N) works in children's permanent back teeth that have cavities. It's for healthy children ages 8 to 10 who have cavities in both lower or both upper first molars.
Minya, Asyut GovernorateAges 8–10 - NCT03753256Recruiting
Testing a dental eye scan during orthodontic treatment
This study checks whether an optical coherence tomography scan—a quick, non-invasive imaging test—can help in dentistry for people who need orthodontic (braces/alignment) treatment. If you join, you’ll likely be scanned as part of the study and your dentist/doctor will compare results to see how useful the scan is.
HeidelbergAges 6 years+ - NCT04040920Recruiting
Ozone treatment before dental sealants
This trial tests whether applying ozone to certain back teeth before placing sealants helps the sealants work better. You might qualify if you need sealants on specific molars and can safely have the area isolated during treatment.

Cinnamon vs chlorine rinse after baby tooth nerve treatment
This trial tests whether a cinnamon extract rinse works as well as a chlorine-based rinse to reduce pain and fight infection after pulpectomy (removing the nerve tissue) in baby teeth. It may help you understand which rinse causes less post-treatment discomfort.
CairoAges 4–8 - NCT06555029Recruiting
Oral health help for older adults on Medicaid

Huế, Thừa Thiên Huế ProvinceAges 3–9 - NCT06641011Recruiting
Sealing molars with enamel spots: rinsing vs blotting
This study tests whether rinsing off or blotting dry a special silver fluoride liquid before placing a tooth sealant helps the sealant last longer on molars affected by a common condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization. The goal is to find the best way to protect these teeth from cavities.
AnkaraAges 6–14 - NCT06685640Recruiting
Comparing metal and ceramic crowns for back baby teeth

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dental caries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 91 recruiting dental caries studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a dental 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.
- Does it cost anything to join a dental caries trial?
- 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.
