Silver liquid vs nano-silver liquid for stopping cavities in baby teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 5 years old.
- Your child is generally healthy with no major medical conditions.
- Your child has at least one cavity in a back baby tooth (molar) that has reached the dentin (inner layer) but does not already need a root canal or is not already loose.
- Your child is very scared or refuses treatment (rated 1 or 2 on a behavior scale used by dentists).
- You agree to the treatment and sign a permission form.

This study looks at how a special silver-based liquid (silver diamine fluoride) affects the inner health of baby teeth over the long term. Researchers will monitor teeth that were previously treated with this liquid to understand if it helps protect teeth and keep them healthy.
This trial tests two types of filling material—one that can be injected and one that is packed in—for cavities on baby molars. It aims to see which works better and lasts longer in children ages 4 to 8.
This study tests whether applying a silver fluoride solution once or twice can stop tooth decay in children aged 4 to 6. It may help keep cavities from getting worse without needing fillings.
This study compares a silver nanoparticle mouthwash to a standard chlorhexidine mouthwash to see which works better at reducing cavity-causing bacteria and improving saliva pH in children aged 6 to 12. If your child is at high risk for cavities, this trial may offer a new option for care.
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 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.
