Prevention of Enamel Demineralization in Fixed Appliance Orthodontic Patients Using CPP-ACP-NaF Varnish Compared to Blank Varnish Base. A Randomized Split Mouth Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating CPP-ACP-NaF varnish for Demineralization. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Sometimes when people wear braces, the combination of dental plaque and diets high in sugar and acids can lead to white spots on the teeth surrounding the braces. These are commonly found in people with braces depending on their diet and care of their teeth. The white spots will still be present when the braces are removed. These white spots are the beginning signs of cavities and show that mineral has been lost from the tooth. This study will be testing a new varnish that is painted on the tooth around the braces to prevent these white spots from forming. This study will enroll patients who wear braces and have planned teeth extractions. A calcium and fluoride releasing varnish will be painted on the teeth planned to be extracted. Braces will then be placed on the teeth. In 3-6 weeks, the extraction will occur and the teeth will be collected for analysis.
