What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial asks whether two common cleaning methods—mechanical polishing with a paste or applying a 35% hydrogen peroxide gel—change the readings of a laser device (DIAGNOdent) used to spot early tooth decay on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. In each participant, one side of the mouth gets one cleaning method and the other side gets the other, allowing a direct comparison. The goal is to see if either method alters the device's scores, which could help dentists interpret readings more accurately when teeth are stained.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Mechanical polishing with fluoride-free prophylaxis paste or 35% hydrogen peroxide gel applied to stained tooth fissures before laser fluorescence measurement.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help dentists get more accurate cavity detection readings on stained teeth, reducing false alarms and improving treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (25 participants) measuring device readings, not actual decay outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients or staining types, and the cleaning methods themselves are not treatments.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

25 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Mar 2025

Finished

May 2026

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 and 65 years * Clinically visible staining in the fissures of at least two permanent posterior teeth * Absence of cavitation, restoration, or sensitivity in the involved teeth Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of restorations on the involved teeth * Evident cusp loss, wear, fracture, or cracks on the occlusal surface * Enamel cracks * Hypocalcification lesions
