Temperature Rise Caused by Short or Long-wavelengths in Dental Procedures

This study is looking at how much heat is created in your tooth and gums during common dental procedures that use light to harden materials. Researchers are comparing two types of light: Blue Light, which is the standard light currently used, and Red Light, which is being investigated as a potentially safer option. The main goal is to measure the temperature change during these procedures and see if there are differences in how sensitive your teeth feel afterward. You might be able to join if you are between 21 and 35 years old, have healthy pre-molar teeth without cavities or fillings, and meet other health criteria. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 50 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 50 participants, comparing Red Light and Blue Light interventions.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, Temperature Change, is measured "During restorative procedure." No information is provided about follow-up after the procedure.
