Toothpaste showdown: which paste best repairs tiny cavities?
NCT ID NCT07625670
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests how well three different toothpastes repair early tooth damage (enamel lesions) in 30 healthy adults aged 18-70. Participants wear a removable mouth device with human enamel pieces for 14 days per toothpaste, with breaks in between. Researchers measure mineral gain and lesion depth to see which paste works best.
