Heat from dental light on healthy teeth
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial measures how much the temperature rises inside a healthy tooth when a dental curing light is used. It helps dentists understand if certain light wavelengths could be safer for teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a premolar (a back tooth) that is fully grown in and healthy.
- You have no cavities or fillings in that tooth.
- Your tooth has never had a root canal or any other dental work.
- You are in good overall health (classified as ASA I, meaning no serious medical conditions).
- You have no signs of tooth infection, pulp stones, or other problems seen on an x-ray.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special light treatment, called photobiomodulation, can help reduce pain and speed up healing after a specific type of dental surgery on the root of a tooth. The surgery involves a small cut in the gum, and the light may help the gum recover faster.
This study tests a special light therapy called photobiomodulation to see if it can reduce pain during routine dental care in children. It may offer a safe, non-drug way to help kids feel more comfortable at the dentist.
This trial tests if using curcumin with a special light can reduce pain after root canal treatment. Curcumin, a natural substance found in turmeric, is used as a light-sensitive agent to help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can help heal the nerve inside a child's first permanent molar when the tooth has deep decay and a painful nerve condition (irreversible pulpitis). The goal is to see if this approach can save the tooth and avoid more invasive treatments.
This trial tests a new light-based tool (near-infrared light) compared to traditional X-rays to find hidden cavities between baby molars. The goal is to see if the light method is better at spotting cavities and if kids like it more.
This trial tests if regular use of antibacterial light therapy can help manage and prevent gum disease symptoms in people with diabetes. It may offer a simple, non-invasive way to improve oral health.
