Peptide and laser treatment for early tooth decay
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two newer ways to treat early cavities in back teeth: a special peptide (a protein) with fluoride, and a laser treatment. It aims to see which method helps repair the tooth and make a filling stick better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old.
- You have at least one back tooth (molar) with a small to medium cavity that needs a filling.
- You are in good overall health and have good oral hygiene.
- You are willing to participate and sign a consent form.
- You do not have any serious medical conditions that affect your teeth or healing, and you are not allergic to the materials used.

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 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.
This study compares a new peptide treatment to a standard fluoride varnish for reversing small white spots on teeth (early cavities) in teens and young adults. You’ll receive one treatment on one side of your mouth and the other treatment on the other side, and we’ll see which works better.
This trial tests three different treatments for repairing very early cavities on tooth enamel: a nano-eggshell paste, a special milk protein paste (CPP-ACP), and a standard fluoride paste. It is for teenagers and young adults who have a few small spots of early decay and a moderate to high risk of getting cavities.
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 gentler way to treat deep cavities in back teeth by removing only the decayed part and filling with a special glass-based filling material. It aims to preserve more of your natural tooth and may reduce the need for more invasive procedures.
