  • Subjects must be in good general health based on medical history and oral soft and hard tissue examination.

Who cannot join

  • Criteria that will not permit participation in this study will be as follows:
  • Any subject who is pregnant or lactating - based on oral interview only - as pregnancy may interfere with the outcome of the study;
  • Any subject who has a systemic health condition such as diabetes that could affect the outcome of the study at the discretion of the examiner;
  • Any subject who has an oral condition, such as excessive, untreated dental caries, periodontal disease, chronic dental neglect, or any oral pathology including xerostomia determined by oral examination and subject history that in the opinion of the dental examiner could affect the outcome of the study;
  • Any subject who has full dentures, or full orthodontic appliances. No use of nightguards will be permitted during the study period;
  • Any subject who uses oral care products (other than those permitted) during the treatment or wash-out periods;

About this study

The primary goals of this project are to determine the anticaries benefits of a prototype multi-mineral mouthrinse containing 225 ppm fluoride and 30 ppm of a Ca through the remineralization of enamel white-spots (non-cavitated lesions). The selection of patients with pre-existing white-spot lesions will permit an opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of the multi-mineral mouthrinse in reminerzalizing and/or inhibiting progression of enamel white-spot lesions.

Conditions

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FluorideDrug

    Also called ACT fluoride mouthrinse

    Over-the-counter level of fluoride (226 ppm) in a fluoride mouthrinse; FDA considers fluoride in a rinse formulation as a 'drug'; dosage is 10 mL per treatment.

  • FluorideDrug

    Also called New mouthrinse

    Over-the-counter level of fluoride (226 ppm) plus calcium (30 ppm) in a fluoride mouthrinse; FDA considers fluoride in a rinse formulation as a 'drug'; dosage is 10 mL per treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fluoride in people with Dental Caries, run by Indiana Nanotech, LLC at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Remineralization of non-cavitated enamel lesions. (time frame: baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Mar 2015.
