• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2014-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Patients with trisomy 21 are in greater danger of developing caries. It has been hypothesized that adding silver nanoparticles to fluor varnishes could promote remineralization of the teeth. A split-plot randomized controlled trial will be performed to address this question.
