Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.

This trial tests whether a special paste (MI Paste Plus) can reduce cavity-causing bacteria and prevent early white spots on teeth while you are wearing braces.
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.
This study looks at whether a special nutritional plan (like a healthy eating program) can help older adults who wear dentures eat better and stay healthy. If you wear full dentures and are between 60 and 80, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a special paste containing tiny particles of calcium and fluoride can help reduce tooth sensitivity. The particles are applied to the sensitive areas of the teeth to see if they can block the pain.
This study examines tiny organisms living in the mouth of people aged 60+ or with weakened immune systems to understand how they relate to gum health. Researchers hope this helps identify early warning signs of gum disease.
