Early treatment to prevent wisdom tooth problems in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new procedure to remove the early-forming wisdom tooth bud in children, which may prevent future wisdom tooth issues. It is for children who have not yet developed wisdom teeth fully.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 8 and 12 years old (typical age for this stage).
- A dental X-ray must show a lower wisdom tooth bud that is 4 to 8 mm wide.
- The tooth bud must not have started forming hard enamel.
- Your child must not have braces or clear aligners.
- Your child must be generally healthy and free from major medical or behavioral issues.

This study tests a new pain medication (LY4515100) in people recovering from wisdom tooth extraction surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces pain better than current options after the procedure.
This study looks at people who need wisdom tooth (third molar) removal and collects the leftover tissue after extraction. The goal is to use these samples to help dental research, while making sure the procedure can be done safely.
This study uses a 3D dental x-ray (CBCT) to look at how wisdom teeth that are stuck (impacted) relate to the growth pattern of your jaw. It might help doctors understand why some wisdom teeth get stuck.
This trial tests whether placing a collagen membrane after wisdom tooth removal helps the nearby second molar heal better. If you have impacted lower wisdom teeth on both sides, this study may compare healing with and without the membrane.
This study compares two methods for removing lower wisdom teeth before they are fully grown. It uses a special ultrasound tool (piezoelectric) versus traditional surgical tools to see which is gentler and leads to faster healing.
This trial compares two ways to fix cavities in baby molars: the SMART Hall technique (a newer, less invasive method) and the traditional stainless steel crown. The goal is to see which works better for children aged 3 to 9.
