New fluoride varnish vs standard varnish for braces plaque
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares a new fluoride varnish that contains tiny titanium particles (nanoparticles) to a standard fluoride varnish. It tests which one is better at preventing plaque buildup for people getting braces.

This trial tests whether a special fluoride varnish can reduce dentin hypersensitivity (tooth sensitivity). If you have sensitive teeth, this study may help find a better treatment.
This trial tests a special coating that releases fluoride to help prevent white spots from forming on your teeth while you wear braces. The coating is applied to the teeth before the brackets are attached.
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 study compares a silver-containing liquid (SDF) to a fluoride varnish to see which works better at reducing cavity-causing bacteria in children's mouths. It may help your child if they have cavities in their baby teeth.
This study tests a new protective coating (PRG barrier coat) compared to a standard fluoride varnish to help reverse early white spot lesions on children's front teeth. It may help restore tooth enamel and prevent cavities.
This trial tests two new acid-based tooth polishing treatments for removing stains caused by fluorosis (a condition from too much fluoride when teeth were forming). The goal is to see which kit is safer and more effective at brightening your teeth.
