Peptide gel vs laser for cavity treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two new ways to treat cavities: a self-assembling peptide gel (P11-4 with fluoride) and a laser, compared to a standard filling. The goal is to see which approach remineralizes (rebuilds) the tooth best and how well the filling sticks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 to 40 years old.
- You have a cavity on the chewing surface of a back permanent tooth that needs a filling (ICDAS code 3 or 4).
- You are in good general and oral health.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.
- You do NOT have health problems that affect healing, tooth nerve damage, or allergies to study materials.

This trial tests whether a new peptide treatment or a calcium-phosphate paste works better at reversing early white-spot cavities on front teeth. If you're a young adult with early decay on your front teeth, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new method to treat cavities that reach the middle layer of a tooth. It may help repair the tooth with a liquid that hardens into a filling. If you have a back tooth with a cavity that hasn't been filled yet, you might be eligible to join.
This study tests a new self-hardening filling material against a light-activated bioactive filling for cavities between back teeth. The goal is to see which material works better and lasts longer.
This trial compares a new bioactive filling material to a standard one for treating deep cavities. It aims to see which material helps the tooth form a natural protective layer over the nerve better over 2 years.
This trial tests a new type of self-hardening tooth-colored filling material that may help repair and protect deep cavities in back teeth. It is looking for people with two molars that need deep fillings, to see if the material stays strong and helpful over time.
This trial tests a self-assembling peptide (P11-4) to help reverse early white spots on teeth caused by cavities in teenagers. If effective, it could rebuild enamel without drilling or fillings.
