This study compares a new silver-based mouthwash to a standard antiseptic mouthwash in children with fillings on their front teeth, to see if the new one is more acceptable to children. If your child qualifies, they will use one of these mouthwashes as part of the study.
This study compares two cavity-preventing treatments for children's teeth to see which works better at stopping tooth decay. It may help your child by stopping cavities from getting worse without needing fillings.
This study tests whether sodium fluoride and chlorhexidine (a prescription mouthwash) change certain markers in saliva that may relate to tooth decay in children with cavities. The goal is to understand if these common dental treatments affect the body's natural cavity-fighting substances.
This trial compares two silver-based treatments to stop tooth decay in young children who are uncooperative with dental treatment. Both treatments are painted on the cavity to help stop it from getting worse.
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 compares two mouthwashes, one with hyaluronic acid and one with chlorhexidine, to see which is better at reducing gum inflammation in children with gingivitis. The mouthwashes are tested for taste and effectiveness, and your child's participation could help find a more pleasant way to treat gum bleeding.
