Comparing two toothpastes to prevent cavities in healthy adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new 2% calcium hypophosphite toothpaste is better than standard fluoride toothpaste at preventing cavities. You may be able to join if you have healthy teeth and are willing to use an electric toothbrush and floss.

This trial tests whether a special toothpaste with stannous fluoride can fight bacteria in different areas of the mouth. It may help people with plaque buildup and mild gum inflammation.
This trial tests whether a new toothpaste technology can block the tiny tubules in dentin that cause tooth sensitivity. It lasts 2 weeks and will help find better ways to treat sensitive teeth.
This study tests if a special toothpaste with hydroxyapatite (a natural mineral) can help strengthen tooth enamel in children and teenagers aged 6 to 18. It may help prevent cavities by making teeth harder and more resistant to acid.
This trial tests a new toothpaste containing stannous fluoride to see if it improves gum health. If you have mild gum issues but are otherwise healthy, this study might be a good fit.
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 whether a special paste containing tiny particles of calcium and fluoride can help reduce tooth sensitivity. The particles are applied to the sensitive areas of the teeth to see if they can block the pain.
