About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Remineralization Potential of Preventive Regimens Containing Herbal-based Compared to Fluoride-based Toothpastes in High Caries Risk Patients With Initial Carious Lesions: Randomized Clinical Trial
This study will be conducted to assess the effect of different preventive regimens using herbal toothpaste versus fluoride toothpaste on the management of remineralization and caries risk in high caries risk patients.
Read the detailed description
Dental caries is a major universal health problem with multiple etiological factors, so looking for economical and accurate plans for recognizing high-risk persons, and multiple risk factors to reduce the risk, in addition to caries management, using a caries risk assessment to detect the person who will develop caries, and provide them with suitable preventive and treatment regimens to disruption the disease procedure.
The treatment should evade invasive treatments and a large emphasis on prevention (using fluoride toothpaste, solutions, patient education, and so on), to achieve the aim of new dentistry (minimal intervention). The application of such a regimen to manage initial caries lesions allows the dentist to reverse initial lesions with the minimal victim of healthy dental tissues.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| preventive regimen using Herbal toothpaste(Himalaya) | Experimental | The regimen includes herbal toothpaste containing "Neem , Miswak , Babool and Pomegranate" (Himalaya Complete Care). Chew xylitol gum 2 pieces four times per day for 5 minutes after meals. Receives: Other: Himalaya complete care toothpaste |
| preventive regimen using Fluoride based toothpaste(colgate) | Active comparator | preventive regimen using Fluoride based toothpaste (colgate cavity protection). Participants will be using a fluoride-based toothpaste (colgate cavity protection), (1450 ppm Sodium monofluorophosphate). chew xylitol gum 2 pieces four times per day for 5 minutes after meals. Receives: Other: colgate cavity protection |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Remineralization of initial carious lesions
changes in fluorescence of white spot lesions will be evaluated after reminerlization by using Diagnodent scoring (0-20): healthy teeth (0-14), initial carious lesions (14-20), dentinal caries (more than 20)
Measured: Outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, after 1 week, after 4 weeks and after 12 weeks.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Caries risk assessment
Change in caries risk assessment by "cariogram software" as each patient data is collected in order to be inserted into the "Cariogram software" which in turn will evaluate this data and lead to a pie chart showing the chance of avoiding new caries as percentage.
Measured: Outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, after 1 week, after 4 weeks and after 12 weeks.
