Remineralizing toothpaste for early cavities in teens
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 compares two silver-based treatments to stop tooth decay in young children who are uncooperative with dental treatment. Both treatments are painted on the cavity to help stop it from getting worse.
This trial tests a new way to spot very early cavities using fluorescent starch nanoparticles, and compares it to saliva tests. It might help detect tooth decay before it needs a filling.
This study tests a new type of tooth sealant (a protective coating) applied to your teeth, with or without a special laser treatment first. The goal is to see which method better prevents cavities and keeps the sealant in place, which may help you avoid future tooth decay.
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.
