Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this in situ clinical study is to determine whether a toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite microclusters is as effective as a fluoridated kid's toothpaste in promoting remineralization of early caries lesions and inhibiting the development of caries lesions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators hypothesize that (1) both the hydroxyapatite and the fluoridated toothpaste promote caries remineralization that is significantly greater than zero, and (2) the two toothpaste formulations are equally effective with respect to post-treatment remineralization and inhibition of demineralization.

* Non-inferiority will be considered established if there is no statistically significant difference in percentage of remineralization between the hydroxyapatite-containing toothpaste and the fluoridated kid's toothpaste for any one measurement method.
* Superiority/inferiority will be considered established if at least 20% statistically significant difference is observed between the hydroxyapatite-containing toothpaste and the fluoridated kid's toothpaste for any one measurement method

Intervention Type OTHER

If in a subject a significant increase of carious lesions will be observed, her/his parents are informed about the necessity for further caries preventive measures (e.g. dietary changes, use of fluoride products, reduction of cariogenic microflora with chlorhexidine, xylitol chewing gum, etc.) and caries preventive treatment (removing caries and placing a restoration) by the study centers is offered.
