Repair vs replace old fillings in baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to fix a worn-out filling in a child's baby molar: repairing just the damaged part or replacing the entire filling. It aims to see which method keeps the tooth healthy and reduces discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 8 years old.
- Your child must have at least one old filling in a baby molar that is damaged, but the damage covers no more than three tooth surfaces.
- The tooth must not have decay reaching the nerve, and there should be no signs of infection or pain.
- The old filling must be firmly in place, not loose or about to fall out.
- You (and your child) must agree to participate and sign the consent form.
