NCT ID NCT07247760
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 10% carbamide peroxide gel, used at home, can make white spot lesions on teeth less noticeable. About 67 adults with white spots on their front teeth will use the gel and report their satisfaction. The researchers will also check for side effects like tooth sensitivity and gum irritation.
