Numbing gel for dental cavity treatment pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests different numbing gels to see which one reduces pain during and after cavity treatment. It may help find a more comfortable way to manage dental pain.

This study tests whether a specially prepared numbing medicine works better than standard numbing to reduce pain and anxiety during a dental procedure for children with a painful infected tooth. The goal is to find the gentlest way to numb the area before treatment.
This study compares two methods of cleaning infected root canals to see which one reduces pain better after the procedure. It may help find a more comfortable treatment for people with tooth infections.
This study tests two cavity disinfectants to see which one better reduces pain and improves healing after removing deep decay from back teeth. It is for adults with deep cavities in their lower molars that are still alive (not needing a root canal).
This study tests whether applying cold to your gum before a numbing injection helps the anesthetic work better for a severely painful lower front tooth. Researchers want to see if this simple cooling step reduces pain during the procedure.
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 trial compares two ways to numb a painful lower back molar. If you have a tooth infection that needs a root canal, you may receive one of two injection techniques to see which works better.
