Comparing two treatments for white spot lesions on removed teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at two methods to treat early tooth decay (white spots) on teeth that are being removed. By studying the teeth in the lab, they hope to find a better way to reverse these spots, which could help keep teeth healthier in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be having premolar teeth removed (usually for orthodontic reasons).
- The removed teeth must be free of cavities or any decay.
- The teeth should not have any cracks or fractures.
- The teeth should not have any enamel problems, like hypoplasia or other defects.
- The teeth should not have any stains, white spots, or previous fillings or crowns.

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 a home whitening gel (10% carbamide peroxide) to see if it can make white spots on front teeth less noticeable and if people are happy with the results. It might help if you have white spots and want a simple way to improve your smile.
This trial compares two tooth treatments to see which one works better for “white spot” areas that can appear after braces come off. If you have mild plaque buildup and at least one white spot on front teeth, you may be eligible to test one of these options and improve tooth surface healing.
This study compares two resin infiltration systems to treat white spot lesions—the chalky white marks that can appear on teeth after braces. The goal is to see which treatment works better, costs less, and makes patients happier.
This trial tests two dental treatments—a special varnish and a cleaning paste—to see how well they keep white spots on teeth from getting worse. They may help improve the look of early tooth decay without needing fillings.
This study tests a special toothpaste (with bioactive silica and calcium) to see if it can help reverse early white spot lesions on teeth before they become cavities. It might help prevent the need for fillings by strengthening the enamel.
