This study tests whether simple exercises for the mouth, tongue, and face can help children with mild sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It's a non-surgical, drug-free approach that may be a good option for kids who haven't tried other treatments.
This trial tests a new approach for treating bad breath (halitosis) using a special light therapy combined with probiotics (good bacteria). It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
This study looks at the bacteria in the nose and throat of children and young adults who have a respiratory infection. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect the infection and recovery.
This trial tests if myofunctional therapy—exercises for the tongue and face muscles—can help children aged 6–10 years who have an open bite and infant-like swallowing. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve the bite and swallowing pattern.
This study compares two mouthwashes (one with probiotics and one with a natural ingredient called ethyl lauroyl arginate) to see which is better at reducing cavity-causing bacteria, plaque buildup, and keeping the mouth at a healthy pH level. It may help children between 6 and 12 years old who have mild to moderate plaque.
