Fluoride-Free toothpaste could be just as good at stopping cavities
NCT ID NCT07068204
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a toothpaste made with 2% calcium hypophosphite to a standard fluoride toothpaste (1450 ppm F) to see if it can prevent cavities in adults. Over 18 months, 164 healthy adults will brush twice daily with one of the two toothpastes. The goal is to prove the new toothpaste is not worse than fluoride at keeping teeth cavity-free.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 2% calcium hypophosphite toothpaste
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer an alternative cavity-preventing toothpaste for people who cannot or prefer not to use fluoride.
- What could go wrong
- This is a non-inferiority trial, meaning it only aims to show the new toothpaste is not worse than fluoride—not that it is better. The study is relatively small (164 adults) and results may not apply to everyone, such as those with existing cavities.
