Effects of metal crowns on gum health markers in children
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial checks if a specific type of dental cement used for metal crowns on children's baby molars affects certain immune markers in the gum fluid. It aims to ensure the crowns are safe and don't cause gum inflammation.
