Comparison of two tooth cap methods for baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
