Comparing two numbing methods for children with chalky teeth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of numbing the mouth before dental filling in children with a condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization (chalky teeth). One method uses a computer to give the numbing medicine, and the other is the traditional method. The goal is to see if the computer-assisted method is more comfortable and effective for children.

Who can take part
- Your child is between 8 and 12 years old.
- Your child is generally healthy with no long-term medical conditions.
- Your child has no recent injuries, cysts, or tumors in the mouth.
- Your child has not taken antibiotics or pain relievers like ibuprofen in the last month.
- Your child has at least two permanent back teeth affected by chalky spots (molar-incisor hypomineralization) that need fillings due to cavities.
- Your child is cooperative during dental visits.

This study compares two ways to make dental numbing more effective for children with MIH (a condition that causes chalky spots on teeth). It tests whether silver diamine fluoride or cold therapy applied inside the mouth helps the numbing medicine work better, so your child may feel less discomfort during dental work.
This study tests two ways to numb teeth—in the bone or in the gum—to see which works better for children with weak enamel on their back teeth and front teeth. It may help find a pain-free way to treat these teeth.
This study compares two ways to fill permanent back teeth that have soft enamel (molar incisor hypomineralization, or MIH). It aims to find which filling method works better and lasts longer for children aged 7 to 11.
This study compares using virtual reality (VR) glasses versus the usual tell-show-do approach during dental fillings in children aged 6-12 with a condition called MIH (weakened enamel on back teeth). It aims to see which method helps children feel less pain and anxiety during the procedure.
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 study looks at how children with a tooth-enamel condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) chew and bite. It aims to see if treating affected teeth helps improve chewing, and includes healthy children for comparison.
