Bioactive sealant for cavity-prone back teeth in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of tooth sealant that may help prevent cavities in the deep grooves of permanent back molars. It's for children whose first adult molars are fully grown in and have no cavities yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must have first permanent molars (back teeth) that are fully erupted and free of cavities.
- The grooves on the chewing surface of these teeth must be deep and cavity-prone.
- You should be willing to participate and able to follow the study instructions.
- You must have good oral hygiene habits.
- You cannot have severe tooth grinding, jaw clenching, dry mouth, or many cavities.

This study tests a flowable resin material (like a clear liquid plastic) to see if it can be used as a sealant to protect deep grooves in children's first permanent molars from cavities. It is for healthy children aged 6–8 whose bottom molars have deep grooves but no decay yet.
This study compares a new type of tooth sealant (made with bioactive glass) against a standard plastic sealant. The goal is to see which one better protects the grooves of back teeth from cavities. The fit is tight because it only includes healthy young adults with specific tooth conditions.
This study compares two types of dental sealants for preventing cavities in the deep grooves of children's back molars. It tests a newer self-sticking dental material against a standard sealant, sometimes with a minor opening of the groove first.
This trial will see if dental sealants work better on healthy teeth versus those with early signs of decay. If you have a child between 7 and 18 with fully grown back molars that have no fillings, they may be able to join.
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 study tests a special adhesive to help sealants stick better and prevent cavities on back teeth in children aged 6 to 12.
