About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Efficacy of Experimental Dentifrice Formulations With Different Forms of Fluoride and/or Other Agents to Remineralize Enamel and Dentine Subsurface Lesions in a Double-Blind Randomized In-Situ Clinical Trial

To compare the remineralization and demineralization inhibition potential of early subsurface carious lesions in enamel in situ after rinsing with five different aqueous slurries of toothpaste formulations. Percent remineralization (%R), i.e. the % change in ΔZ values relative to ΔZd, will be the primary outcome measure.

0 ppm Fluoride Dentifrice 1, 1100 ppm NaF Fluoride Dentifrice, 1500 ppm NaMFP Fluoride Dentifrice, 0 ppm Fluoride Dentifrice 2, 0 ppm Fluoride Dentifrice 3

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mineral Density

    The percent mineral profile of each enamel/dentinel slab's demineralized control and remineralized/treated lesion, obtained from the microdensitometry analysis, will be compared with the median sound enamel percent mineral profile of the same section. A negative value indicates mineral has been lost and, therefore, the lesion has progressed, whereas a positive value indicates mineral has been gained and, therefore, the lesion has regressed.

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

    SEM imaging and SEM-EDS analysis will be conducted on TMR sections and whole sections of dentine lesions treated in situ to assess the occlusion of dentine tubules and distribution of elements within the lesions following the experiment.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 0 ppm Fluoride Dentifrice 1, 1100 ppm NaF Fluoride Dentifrice and 1500 ppm NaMFP Fluoride Dentifrice in people with Caries, run by Procter and Gamble at 1 site in Australia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mineral Density (time frame: 14 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Nov 2023.
