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 a light-activated treatment to prevent chromogenic (colored) stains from returning on baby teeth. It may help children ages 4–6 who are prone to these stains and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether a hyaluronic acid mouthwash works better than a chlorhexidine mouthwash to reduce gum inflammation and bleeding in children. It aims to find a gentler, better-tasting alternative for treating gingivitis.
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 trial tests if a special air-polishing method using erythritol powder is better than regular polishing at keeping children's tooth stains from coming back after a deep cleaning. It may help if your child has dark stains on their teeth and is healthy.
This trial tests if a silver-based mouthwash is as good as a standard chlorhexidine mouthwash for children with composite fillings on front teeth. It aims to find a mouthwash that kids will accept and use.
This trial tests a special mouthwash (chlorhexidine) to see how well it prevents gum inflammation. It compares a standard version to one that also reduces tooth staining. You may be eligible if you are healthy, do not smoke, and have at least 24 teeth with healthy gums.
