Novamin for weak enamel in children's teeth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special toothpaste ingredient (Novamin) that may help repair weak enamel on permanent back teeth and front teeth in children and teens. The treatment is applied by a dentist and may strengthen the teeth and reduce sensitivity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least two permanent teeth (back teeth or front teeth) with weak enamel spots (white or yellow patches).
- The enamel damage is mild to moderate — not so severe that more than two-thirds of the tooth is affected or large pieces have broken off.
- You are generally healthy and do not have any major medical conditions.
- You are not currently wearing braces or other orthodontic appliances.
- You are not taking any prescription medications.

This study tests a special remineralizing paste on mild enamel spots (called MIH) on children's permanent molars. The paste may help strengthen the enamel and reduce sensitivity.
This trial tests a dental treatment called resin infiltration, which is a liquid that is applied to the white or discolored spots on permanent front teeth caused by a condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization. The treatment aims to improve the appearance of these spots and strengthen the enamel without needing drilling or fillings.
This study compares two types of tooth-colored coatings (sealants) for protecting permanent molars affected by a condition called molar-incisor hyponineralization. The goal is to see which sealant works better to prevent decay and reduce sensitivity.
This study tests two ways to numb teeth—in the bone or in the gum—to see which works better for children with weak enamel on their back teeth and front teeth. It may help find a pain-free way to treat these teeth.
This study compares two ways to make dental numbing more effective for children with MIH (a condition that causes chalky spots on teeth). It tests whether silver diamine fluoride or cold therapy applied inside the mouth helps the numbing medicine work better, so your child may feel less discomfort during dental work.
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.
