Early tooth decay detection with a new tool and fluoride toothpaste
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new tool for spotting early tooth decay (enamel lesions) before they turn into cavities. If you join, you'll use a special high-fluoride toothpaste, and the tool may help find problem areas early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 13 years of age or older.

This study tests whether a toothpaste or rinse can help repair early tooth decay and strengthen enamel. Participants wear a small dental appliance for most of the day for a period of time.
This study aims to build a tool that predicts which children aged 3 to 6 are at high risk for severe tooth decay (cavities). By identifying risk factors early, doctors hope to prevent serious dental problems and improve children's oral health.
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 study tests a new way to look at cavities (tooth decay) during dental check-ups. If you have a cavity, taking part may help your dentist get a more accurate picture of it, which could guide better treatment.
This study tests a toothpaste with stannous fluoride to see how it affects gum health by measuring certain markers in the fluid around the teeth. It may help reduce gum inflammation and improve oral hygiene.
This study tests a new toothpaste to see how well it removes plaque and reduces gum inflammation (gingivitis). If you have early gum problems, this may help improve your oral hygiene.
