Testing a mouthwash for black stains on kids' teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special mouthwash made from chitosan (a natural substance from shellfish) can prevent black stains from coming back on children's teeth. Kids will use the mouthwash and be checked over 18 weeks to see if it works.

This trial tests whether a light-activated treatment can reduce the return of dark stains on baby teeth in children aged 4 to 6. It may help keep teeth cleaner for longer without using harsh chemicals.
This trial compares two mouthwashes, one with hyaluronic acid and one with chlorhexidine, to see which is better at reducing gum inflammation in children with gingivitis. The mouthwashes are tested for taste and effectiveness, and your child's participation could help find a more pleasant way to treat gum bleeding.
This study compares two mouthwashes (one with probiotics and one with a natural ingredient called ethyl lauroyl arginate) to see which is better at reducing cavity-causing bacteria, plaque buildup, and keeping the mouth at a healthy pH level. It may help children between 6 and 12 years old who have mild to moderate plaque.
This study compares two ways to clean stains off children's teeth after a standard cleaning: one using a special air and powder spray, the other using a traditional rubber cup polish. It looks at which method keeps stains from coming back longer.
This study tests an experimental mouthwash used with a regular whitening toothpaste to see if it helps remove surface stains from teeth. This could help people who have stains from coffee, tea, or tobacco.
This study compares a new silver-based mouthwash to a standard antiseptic mouthwash in children with fillings on their front teeth, to see if the new one is more acceptable to children. If your child qualifies, they will use one of these mouthwashes as part of the study.
