Dental numbing method for children with weak tooth enamel
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to numb the back teeth in children with a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (wiener teeth that are prone to decay). It compares injecting numbing medicine directly into the bone (using a very short needle) with the standard method, to see if it gives better pain relief during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be generally healthy (classified as ASA I or II, meaning no major health problems).
- During the pre-operative assessment, your child should be cooperative – rated 3 or 4 on the Frankl scale, which means they are positive and actively cooperative.
- Your child must have at least one first molar (back tooth) that is deeply decayed and sensitive, with MIH (a condition where enamel is weak and prone to decay), and the decay should be close to the pulp (nerve) as seen on an X-ray.
- You must provide written permission (consent) for your child to participate.
- Exclusions apply if your child has certain physical or mental disabilities, immune system problems, allergies to local anesthetics, or has taken pain medication within 12 hours before the procedure.

This study tests a new dental injector against a traditional syringe to see which one causes less pain and anxiety for children getting numbed for their first cavity treatment.
This study tests a new computer-controlled injection method for numbing children's back teeth before removal. It aims to reduce pain during the injection and the procedure, making the experience more comfortable for children.
This study tests two ways to numb teeth—in the bone or in the gum—to see which works better for children with weak enamel on their back teeth and front teeth. It may help find a pain-free way to treat these teeth.
This study compares two ways of numbing the mouth before dental filling in children with a condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization (chalky teeth). One method uses a computer to give the numbing medicine, and the other is the traditional method. The goal is to see if the computer-assisted method is more comfortable and effective for children.
This study tests a special numbing technique (intraosseous anesthesia) for removing permanent back teeth in children who are already under general anesthesia for dental treatments. The goal is to see if it helps reduce pain after the procedure.
This study compares two ways to make dental numbing more effective for children with MIH (a condition that causes chalky spots on teeth). It tests whether silver diamine fluoride or cold therapy applied inside the mouth helps the numbing medicine work better, so your child may feel less discomfort during dental work.
