New toothpaste aims to stop enamel erosion in its tracks
NCT ID NCT07442136
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a new toothpaste can prevent enamel erosion better than a standard cavity-protection toothpaste. Eighty healthy adults will brush twice daily for 18 days with either the test or control toothpaste. Researchers will measure enamel loss on a small block worn in the mouth to see which toothpaste offers better protection.
