Povidone iodine in kids’ dental cavities surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether povidone iodine helps prevent problems or improves outcomes when children with severe early childhood cavities need dental treatment in the operating room. You may be able to join if your child fits the age and dental needs and has no iodine-related or thyroid problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies children ages 9–15 months and looks at oropharyngeal yeast infection in the mouth (often called “OPC”). It may help researchers understand how to prevent or manage this condition.
This trial tests two simple treatments for cavities in young children (ages 2–5) attending specific kindergartens. One treatment is a liquid called silver diamine fluoride (SDF) that stops cavities, and the other is a special filling method (ART). The study looks at how well each treatment works and how kids and parents feel about it.
