NCT ID NCT07295977

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how dehydration changes the natural fluorescence (glow) of teeth. Ten healthy adults will have their teeth dried and photographed under special lights at different times. The goal is to understand these changes so dentists can better use fluorescence imaging to spot early tooth problems.
