New varnish may beat fluoride for fixing white spots on teeth
NCT ID NCT07602660
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a new bioactive varnish can fix white spot lesions on teeth better than standard fluoride varnish. About 60 people aged 16-35 with at least four white spots will get one of the two varnishes. Researchers will check how well the spots heal and if tooth color improves.
