Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Dental Caries on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Dental Caries is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    5 of 31 indexed trials (16.1%) are open to enrollment, against a 39.7% average across 762 conditions with 20-99 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

    Solventum US accounts for 3 of 31 trials (9.7%). 21 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Dental Caries trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 55 among the 31 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 21 of those (67.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Dental Caries research is mostly interventional.
