Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.

This study tests a special remineralizing paste on mild enamel spots (called MIH) on children's permanent molars. The paste may help strengthen the enamel and reduce sensitivity.
This study tests a new toothpaste containing nano-hydroxyapatite, a substance that mimics natural enamel, to see if it can help reduce sensitivity and improve the color of teeth affected by Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH)—a condition where first molars and sometimes front teeth have white, yellow, or brown spots. It is for children aged 6 to 12 who have these spots on at least one permanent molar or baby molar.
This study tests a compound in gum to see how well it prevents plaque buildup over 4 days. You may be able to join if you are a healthy adult with at least 20 natural teeth and some existing plaque.
