Peptide vs calcium paste for early cavity spots
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 25 years old
- You have at least one early white-spot cavity on a front tooth (between your right and left canine)
- The cavity is small (ICDAS II code 1 or 2) and clearly visible
- You are in good general health and brush and floss regularly
- You are not allergic to milk proteins (casein)
- You are not taking any medications that dry out your mouth

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 whether a special remineralizing agent can help reverse early white spots (soft spots) on adult teeth before they become cavities. It's for people who have a few small spots but keep their teeth clean.
This study tests whether a new coating (PRG Barrier Coat) can heal white spot lesions on permanent front teeth in children, compared to a standard fluoride varnish. The study wants to see if this treatment can help stop early decay and improve the appearance of teeth.
This study tests a new way to hide white spots on permanent front teeth in children. It compares a cosmetic masking technique with a resin infiltration method to see which works better.
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.
