This trial tests if a special mouthwash made from chitosan (a natural substance from shellfish) can prevent black stains from coming back on children's teeth. Kids will use the mouthwash and be checked over 18 weeks to see if it works.
This study tests a new product called Antivet to see if it removes tooth stains better than regular acid treatments. It may help people with mild to moderate tooth discoloration.
This study tests whether a special laser (Er,Cr:YSGG) can prevent cavities in the deep grooves of children's permanent back teeth. It is for children ages 6–12 who are calm during dental visits and have healthy, groove-filled molars without visible cavities.
This trial studies whether taking dental photos and using a computer color scale can replace traditional ways of matching tooth color, especially for front teeth. It’s meant to help make crowns and full-cover restorations look more natural.
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can help heal the nerve inside a child's first permanent molar when the tooth has deep decay and a painful nerve condition (irreversible pulpitis). The goal is to see if this approach can save the tooth and avoid more invasive treatments.
This study tests a new way to hide white spots on permanent front teeth in children. It compares a cosmetic masking technique with a resin infiltration method to see which works better.
