NCT ID NCT07609797
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at certain substances in the saliva of children aged 6-8 with and without cavities. Researchers will apply a fluoride varnish or a combination of fluoride and chlorhexidine (a germ-killing rinse) to see how these treatments change the saliva markers over one month. The goal is to understand how these common cavity-prevention methods work at a biological level.
