Temperature Rise Caused by Short or Long-wavelengths
NCT06418958 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Red light has been shown to be less harmful than blue light in vitro and in vivo. Although red light has been already introduced in the market and is currently being used in patients for several reasons, no data exist on the use of red light applied to restorative procedures. This study aims to specifically measure the in vivo temperature rise in simulated restorative procedures using blue light (standard) and red light and its post-operative sensitivity rates.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06418958
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06418958 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Florida, which has 1,066 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Post-operative Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Red Light is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06418958 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
