Sealant test for molars with enamel defects in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a glass ionomer sealant can protect molars with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a type of enamel weakness, by sealing the biting surface. It may help reduce damage in affected teeth when children still have healthy surfaces that can be sealed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 6 to 10 years old
- Your child has molars with MIH enamel defects on the top biting surface
- Your child is generally healthy enough for dental study visits
- Your child can cooperate with dental checkups and treatments
- A parent or legal guardian can sign consent for the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of dental sealants (a protective coating) for children with mild MIH (molar-incisor hypomineralization), where the back teeth have sensitive spots. It tests if a newer material (giomer) works better than the standard resin sealant.
This study compares two types of dental sealants applied to the first permanent molars of children aged 6-12 who have a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which means their back teeth have soft or chalky spots. The goal is to see which sealant works better at protecting these teeth from cavities.
This study tests whether a new pre-etched bioactive sealant works better than a standard resin-based one to protect permanent molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that makes teeth softer and more prone to cavities. It aims to find a more effective way to prevent decay in these vulnerable teeth.
This trial tests whether a dental sealant or a special laser treatment can prevent cavities and breakdown in first permanent molars affected by MIH (a condition that makes enamel weak). Eligible children have a molar with MIH that hasn't yet broken down and has only minor cavities.
This study tests whether GIomer varnish or fluoride varnish works better to reduce tooth sensitivity in children with MIH (a common enamel problem). You may join if your child has sensitive MIH-affected molars or incisors and can attend follow-up visits.
This study tests a new way to hide white spots on permanent front teeth in children. It compares a cosmetic masking technique with a resin infiltration method to see which works better.
