Dental sealant study for kids and molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special adhesive to help sealants stick better and prevent cavities on back teeth in children aged 6 to 12.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old
