Silver liquids for early cavities in dental students
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two cavity-fighting liquids (silver diamine fluoride and silver fluoride) on early cavities in permanent back teeth of Egyptian dental students. It also checks if using a special light makes the treatment work better or more cost-effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at high risk for cavities.
- You have at least one active cavity in a permanent back tooth (not the front).

This study checks if silver-containing agents can help heal early white spots (cavities) on baby teeth of children aged 3 to 8. It compares different silver treatments to see which works best for stopping or reversing these early cavities.
This trial tests two types of silver liquid (one standard, one with very tiny particles) to see which works better at stopping cavities in baby teeth of young children who are nervous about dental treatment. If your child has cavities in their back baby teeth and is too scared for usual dental work, this may be an option.
This study tests whether applying silver diamine fluoride (a cavity-stopping liquid) changes how well local numbing works during dental treatment for certain tooth defects. It may help determine the safest and most comfortable way to treat weak, cavity-prone molars in children.
This trial tests a program in schools to help prevent cavities (tooth decay) in children ages 5 to 13. The goal is to see if school-based care makes it easier for kids to get treatment and keep their teeth healthy.
This study tests if a liquid medicine (silver diamine fluoride) painted on baby teeth cavities can change the bacteria in a child's mouth. It is for healthy children ages 4–10 with an open cavity.
This trial studies a special liquid called silver diamine fluoride that is painted onto cavities on tooth roots. It may help stop the decay and keep the tooth healthy without drilling.
