Remineralizing with nano-eggshell varnish, CPP-ACP paste, or fluoride varnish in teens with early tooth decay
Official title: Remineralizing Effect of Nano-eggshell, Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP), and Sodium Fluoride on Initial Enamel Caries: Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Mansoura University · NCT07711132 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This randomized trial tests whether nano-eggshell varnish, CPP-ACP paste, or fluoride varnish can remineralize early enamel caries in adolescents aged 15–20.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adolescents aged 15–20 with 3–4 teeth showing ICDAS II scores of 1–2 and moderate-to-high caries risk.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals without early enamel lesions or with low caries risk may not see a benefit from these interventions.

What this trial studies
In this randomized, three-arm study, adolescents aged 15 to 20 with initial enamel caries are assigned to nano-eggshell varnish, CPP-ACP paste, or sodium fluoride varnish. Remineralization and caries activity will be tracked over 12 months using DIAGNOdent readings, ICCMS criteria, and the DMFS index. The aim is to compare the effectiveness of each treatment in reducing caries progression and promoting remineralization. Participants are assessed at multiple time points to determine changes in lesion status and overall dental health. The study is conducted at Mansoura University’s Faculty of Dentistry with a lead sponsor and no listed collaborators.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could identify a more effective remineralization approach for early enamel caries in teens.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have explored remineralization strategies, with mixed but supportive evidence for fluoride and CPP-ACP; this trial adds a nano-eggshell option for comparison.
