Self-assembling Peptide With Sodium Fluoride in Treating White Spot Lesionss in Primary Teeth

February 1, 2023 updated by: Hams Hamed Abdelrahman

Effectiveness of Self-assembling Peptide (p11-4) in Conjunction With Fluoride Varnish in the Management of White Spot Lesions in Primary Teeth (Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

Regenerative medicine-based approaches for caries treatment focus on biomimetic remineralization of initial carious lesions as a minimally invasive therapy using Self-Assembling Peptide P11-4 (CURODONTTM REPAIR) which enhances remineralization of white spot lesions (WSLs). The study aimed to assess clinically the effect of Self Assembling Peptide P11-4 (CURODONTTM REPAIR) + Fluoride varnish (DURAFLOR) versus a 5% fluoride varnish (DURAFLOR) on remineralization of enamel White Spot Lesions in primary teeth.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: SINGLE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: CURODONTTM REPAIR: + Fluoride varnish (DURAFLOR)
The WSL was Acid etched with phosphoric acid gel 35-37% for 20 seconds, the tooth surface was rinsed with water and then dried afterwards application of CURODONTTM REPAIR
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Fluoride Varnish (DURAFLOR) only
A very thin coat of the DURAFLOR varnish was applied by a thin brush which was then allowed to dry for 10 seconds. The varnish hardens on contact with saliva or moisture

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in DIAGNOdent readings
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
The measurements with the DIAGNOdent device that provides numerical values from 0 to 99
Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in ICDAS II scores
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months

Code 0 Sound tooth surface:

Code 1: First visual change in enamel. Code 2: Distinct visual change in enamel visible when wet, lesion must be visible when dry.

Code 3: Localized enamel breakdown because of caries with no visible dentin or underlying shadow.

Code 4: Underlying dark shadow from dentin with or without localized enamel breakdown.

Code 5: Distinct cavity with visible dentin. Code 6: Extensive distinct cavity with visible dentin. After treatment, the evaluation will be performed as follows.

Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Change in Nyvad scores
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months

Code 0: Sound - Normal enamel

Code 1: Active caries (intact surface) - Surface of enamel is whitish/yellowish opaque

Code 2: Active caries (surface discontinuity)

Code 3: Active caries (cavity) - Enamel/dentin cavity easily visible with the naked eye.

Code 4: Inactive caries (intact surface) - Surface of enamel is whitish, brownish or black.

Code 5: Inactive caries (surface discontinuity) - Same criteria as score 4. Localized surface defect (microcavity) in enamel only Code 6: Inactive caries (cavity) - Enamel/dentin cavity easily visible with the naked eye; surface of cavity may be shiny and feels hard on probing with gentle pressure.

Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
