NCT ID: NCT02119507

Last Updated: 2016-01-27

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 25 participants

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic benefit of Curodont Repair for the treatment of early approximal carious lesions compared to no treatment.

Detailed Description

All study participants must have two early approximal carious lesions in need of a treatment but not of an invasive treatment (split-mouth design). One lesion will be treated with Curodont Repair and the other will not undergo a treatment as control. Study duration is 12 months. For assessment x-ray pictures are used.
