NCT ID NCT07414030
First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study measured natural germ-fighting proteins in the saliva of 50 Turkish children aged 3-6 years, comparing those with severe tooth decay to those without. Researchers wanted to see if lower levels of these proteins might make some children more prone to cavities. The goal is to better understand why some children develop severe early childhood caries.
