This early-stage study looks at how drinking soft drinks with and without sweeteners affects children’s mouths and teeth. It may help researchers understand which types of sweet drinks contribute to more tooth damage.
This study compares a silver nanoparticle mouthwash to a standard chlorhexidine mouthwash to see which works better at reducing cavity-causing bacteria and improving saliva pH in children aged 6 to 12. If your child is at high risk for cavities, this trial may offer a new option for care.
This study tests how different sweeteners affect your body if you have a sweet tooth. If you are generally healthy and like sweet foods or drinks, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether sodium fluoride and chlorhexidine (a prescription mouthwash) change certain markers in saliva that may relate to tooth decay in children with cavities. The goal is to understand if these common dental treatments affect the body's natural cavity-fighting substances.
This trial tests how two artificial sweeteners (sucralose and saccharin) affect blood sugar and gut bacteria in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to find out if these sweeteners are safe and helpful for managing diabetes in the short term.
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.
