Comparing tooth decay checks in children ages 4–6
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares three different methods for measuring tooth decay (cavities) in young children to see which works best. Your child will have their teeth checked in a simple, painless exam to help improve dental care for kids.

This study compares two simple checklists (CAMBRA123 and AAPD CAT) that dentists use to figure out a child's risk of getting cavities. Your child's risk level is determined by looking at their teeth and asking a few questions, which can help guide prevention and care.
This study aims to build a tool that predicts which children aged 3 to 6 are at high risk for severe tooth decay (cavities). By identifying risk factors early, doctors hope to prevent serious dental problems and improve children's oral health.
This study compares two different methods of estimating how likely a child is to get tooth decay. If you visit the children’s dental clinic, the researchers will use these methods to help identify risk and plan prevention.
This study tests two gentle cavity treatments for children's permanent molars. It aims to find which method works best over two years.
This study tests a new way to look at cavities (tooth decay) during dental check-ups. If you have a cavity, taking part may help your dentist get a more accurate picture of it, which could guide better treatment.
This study compares two gentle ways to remove tooth decay in children's baby molars (back teeth) without using a drill. Both methods aim to remove the cavity with minimal discomfort, and this trial will see which method causes less pain.
