- The trial tested the inexpensive treatment on young children and measured its ability to arrest decay without invasive procedures.
- Researchers indicate the liquid could spare thousands of children from painful dental procedures and surgery.
- The study findings support broader FDA-approved use of the non-invasive approach.
