Testing products to reduce cavities on exposed tooth roots
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether different oral-care products can lower cavity activity on the exposed root surfaces of teeth. It may help people with multiple root cavities by comparing product effects and monitoring changes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Live in the canton of Bern
- Be older than 44 years
- Have three or more root cavities
- Have early root-cavity spots on specific front teeth and premolars (upper and lower jaw)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a special liquid called silver diamine fluoride that is painted onto cavities on tooth roots. It may help stop the decay and keep the tooth healthy without drilling.
This trial tests a new type of tooth-colored filling material that flows into deep cavities below the gum line. The goal is to see if it helps prevent the cavity from coming back in molars (back teeth).
This trial compares a new bioactive filling material to a standard one for treating deep cavities. It aims to see which material helps the tooth form a natural protective layer over the nerve better over 2 years.
This study looks for tiny organisms called archaea in the mouth and how they might be related to cavities. It may help us learn more about what causes tooth decay.
This study tests how well two newer, tooth-friendly filling materials work for cavities at the gum line in people who are prone to tooth decay. If you need a couple of these fillings, this trial could help restore your teeth and protect them from future cavities.
This study looks at cavities on the surface of natural teeth. It aims to learn more about these cavities. You may join if you are at least 18, in good general health, need dental treatment, have at least 15 natural teeth with no crowns, and have at least one cavity that has reached the dentin (inner layer).
