Peptide gel vs. calcium paste: which erases braces white spots best?
NCT ID NCT07146464
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two treatments for white spot lesions—early signs of decay that often appear after braces. One is a peptide gel that helps rebuild enamel, and the other is a calcium paste that remineralizes teeth. Eighteen people aged 15 to 25 will get both treatments on different sides of their mouth, and researchers will track color and size changes over 9 months.
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 P11-4 (SAP P11-4) and Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective, non-invasive treatment to improve the appearance of white spots on teeth after braces.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatments only address appearance, not deeper decay, and long-term effects are unknown.
