NCT ID NCT06999005
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether applying fluoride varnish and placing special sealants can prevent and control cavities in 2,500 children aged 6 to 12. The treatments are minimally invasive and designed for use in public health settings. Children will be checked every three months for two years to see if their cavities stop getting worse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Fluoride varnish and glass ionomer cement sealants
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, low-cost cavity prevention program for schoolchildren that can be used in public health systems.
What could go wrong
This is a large but early-stage study without a control group, so results may not prove the treatments are better than standard care. Also, children may miss follow-up visits, affecting outcomes.
