ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different systems used to fix cavities in children's back teeth, known as primary molars. The goal is to see which system, the Fender Mate or the T-band, works better in terms of how well the cavities are treated, how easy it is for the dentist to use, and how comfortable the kids feel during the procedure. The study will involve healthy children who have at least two cavities that need to be filled, but they should not have any serious health issues or other problems with their teeth.

To participate, children need to be between the ages of approximately 4 to 8 years and have specific types of cavities that meet the study's guidelines. Their parents will need to agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form. Once enrolled, participants can expect to receive a filling for their cavities using one of the two systems being tested, with the aim of helping improve dental care for kids in the future. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, so families should keep an eye out for when it becomes available.
