New tooth treatments battle ugly white spots without drilling

NCT ID NCT07086235

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested two treatments for white spot lesions on teeth, which are common after braces. One uses a self-assembling peptide with fluoride to rebuild enamel, and the other uses a protective coating that releases minerals. Forty-four people with at least two white spots were treated, and the researchers measured color change and lesion depth. The goal is to find a better, less invasive way to improve tooth appearance.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

self-assembling peptide with fluoride (Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus) and tooth protective coating with surface pre-reacted glass (S-PRG Barrier Coat)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a minimally invasive way to restore the natural appearance of teeth with white spots, improving patient satisfaction without drilling or anesthesia.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed trial with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatments are cosmetic and do not cure underlying decay or disease.
