Recruiting studies
- NCT06801561Recruiting
Sealants and Laser to Prevent Cavities in MIH-Affected Molars
This trial tests whether a dental sealant or a special laser treatment can prevent cavities and breakdown in first permanent molars affected by MIH (a condition that makes enamel weak). Eligible children have a molar with MIH that hasn't yet broken down and has only minor cavities.
AlexandriaAges 6–9 - NCT07009015Recruiting
Oral health program for children
This study tests whether an oral health program helps improve children's knowledge and habits. It is for boys aged 10 to 11 who have their parent's permission.
Serdang, SelangorAges 10–11 - NCT07181967Recruiting
SDF vs fluoride varnish for cavity bacteria in kids
This study compares a silver-containing liquid (SDF) to a fluoride varnish to see which works better at reducing cavity-causing bacteria in children's mouths. It may help your child if they have cavities in their baby teeth.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 3–8 - NCT07244991Recruiting
Effect of a special toothpaste on plaque bacteria and cavities during braces treatment
This trial tests whether a special paste (MI Paste Plus) can reduce cavity-causing bacteria and prevent early white spots on teeth while you are wearing braces.
Tirana, AlbaniaAges 5–45 - NCT07302581Recruiting
Study of dental implants with natural ligament for single tooth replacement
This trial tests a new type of dental implant that includes a ligament (like a natural tooth's shock absorber). It's for people who need to have a single front or side tooth pulled and have healthy gum and bone around the area. The goal is to see if this implant works well and stays healthy over time.
Kōriyama, FukushimaAges 18 years+ - NCT07323433Recruiting
Chitosan dressing for pulp treatment in immature teeth
This trial tests a special chitosan dressing used during a partial root canal treatment (pulpotomy) for immature permanent front teeth. It may help the tooth continue to develop and heal without the need for more complex procedures.
MinyaAges 7–15 - NCT06713330Recruiting
Stainless steel vs. resin crowns for baby molars
This study compares two types of dental crowns (stainless steel vs. resin) for baby molars to see which works better. If your child needs full mouth dental work under general anesthesia, they may be able to join.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 2–5 - NCT07547904Recruiting
Bioactive filling material for back tooth cavities
This trial tests a newer type of tooth-filling material (bioactive bulk-fill) in back teeth that need repair. Researchers will compare how well it works compared to standard fillings, which may help improve how long fillings last.
IstanbulAges 18–50 - NCT07324928Enrolling by invitation
Pulpotomy treatment for baby teeth using iron sulfate or MTA
This study compares two materials (iron sulfate and a special cement called MTA) used during a pulpotomy—a procedure to treat cavities in baby molars when the nerve is exposed. It aims to find which material works better to keep the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
Jizan, Jazan RegionAges 6–10 - NCT07011381Enrolling by invitation
Parent views on children's oral health: refugees vs Egyptians
This study looks at how parents view their child's oral health (teeth and mouth) and how it affects daily life. It compares views of Sudanese refugee parents and Egyptian parents living in Cairo.
Kafr ash Shaykh, Kafr Ash Shaikh/ ElhamrawyAges 6–12 - NCT05943782Enrolling by invitation
Digital onlay fillings made two ways for back teeth
This trial compares two digital manufacturing methods to make ceramic onlay fillings for back (molar) teeth—one method that removes material and one that builds it up. It may help you learn which approach makes more comfortable, effective onlays for teeth needing repair.
CairoAges 18–50 - NCT07220850Recruiting
Oral health help for caregivers of kids having dental surgery
This trial tests a program to help caregivers improve their child's oral health after dental surgery. It may be a good fit if you care for a child under 8 years old who is getting dental surgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago clinic.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 7 years - NCT07730359Recruiting
Testing a treatment for white spots after braces
This trial tests a new gel called Epinamel to reverse white spots that form on teeth after braces are removed. If you recently had braces taken off and have white marks on your teeth, this study might help improve them.
LondonAges 12–60 - NCT07123025Recruiting
Partial pulp treatment for painful tooth decay
This study tests if removing only the top part of the damaged tooth nerve can save a deeply decayed molar. It is for people with moderate to severe toothache that doesn't stop, especially when lying down.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 15–40 - NCT06433297Recruiting
Direct vs. indirect pulp capping for deep cavities in lower molars
This study compares two ways to treat deep cavities in lower back teeth when the nerve is exposed. The goal is to see which method better protects the nerve and avoids the need for a root canal.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07578662Recruiting
Direct Pulp Capping for Deep Cavities in Back Teeth
This study tests a treatment where dentists cap (seal) an exposed tooth nerve in deep cavities of back teeth to see if it heals properly. This might help save your tooth instead of needing a root canal.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 15–40 - NCT07696702Recruiting
Comparing pulp capping for deep cavities in adult back teeth
This study tests two ways to treat deep cavities that reach the nerve of the tooth, to see which helps the nerve heal better. It may be an option if you have a deep cavity in a lower molar and the nerve is still healthy.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 18–40 - NCT07748676Recruiting
Comparing two rinsing solutions for deep cavities with tooth pain
This study tests whether rinsing the inside of a painful tooth with a special solution (calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite) after removing the damaged nerve tissue helps preserve the tooth and reduce pain. It's for people with a deep cavity causing severe toothache, and may help avoid a root canal or tooth loss.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 18–40 - NCT06890676Recruiting
Dental care in nursing homes to prevent infections and improve health

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.
