Impact of Compliance With Fluoride Use on Caries Incidence After Cancer Therapy
NCT03267914 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Approximately 40 people will participate in this study. This study will compare two different methods of fluoride application. Both methods are currently used in dental practice and both have been shown to be effective. If the participant chooses to participate in this study, participant will be asked to either wear a small tray that has been custom made to fit into the mouth into which fluoride is placed and worn for 5 minutes at bedtime, or participant will be asked to brush fluoride onto the teeth for 2 minutes at bedtime. Participant will be randomly assigned to use one of these methods of fluoride application: participant will not be allowed to choose which method of application you prefer. Participant will be asked to use fluoride every night while enrolled in the study. The fluoride that is used in the study is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and is commercially available with a prescription. After the study is over, participant will need to continue to use fluoride every night for life to help reduce the risk for dental cavities in the future. During the study, participant will receive a dental examination every 3 months for a total of 4 study visits over the period of 1 year. This visit will consist of a dental examination to identify any new cavities and instructions for fluoride use. Participant will also be asked to complete a written log to document daily fluoride use and to give feedback about compliance with fluoride use.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03267914
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03267914 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is A.T. Still University of Health Sciences, which has 2 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Dental Caries appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Tray is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03267914 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Arizona. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
