Do Amelogenin Peptide-Based Nanohydrogels Prevent Artificially Induced White Spot Lesions?
Article in The journal of adhesive dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeAs one of the most undesirable side effects of fixed orthodontic treatment, the occurrence of white spot lesions should be prevented. In the present study, amelogenin peptide combined with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles within chitosan hydrogels was formulated to prevent enamel demineralization. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Three groups were evaluated for the evaluation of preventive effects. The first group received no treatment and was considered a control group, while the other groups were the experimental groups with the intervention. The first experimental group was treated with chitosan-based hydrogel including the peptide, while the other group was treated with the application of equal amounts of chitosan-based hydrogels loaded with either peptide or hydroxyapatite. pH cycling was carried out for two weeks. The preventive potential was evaluated through the estimation of enamel microhardness, fluorescence, and X-ray diffraction. The surface characteristics of sound and treated enamel were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy using different magnifications, and the chemical compositions were analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic analyzer.
resultsThe results revealed the preventive potential of amelogenin peptide combined with hydroxyapatite through the preservation and improvement of appearance, and mechanical and chemical characteristics of the enamel surface throughout pH cycling.
conclusionThis study concludes that the amelogenin peptide combined with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles within chitosan hydrogels provides a promising preventive strategy.
