MIH and cavities in young adults
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how common a tooth condition called Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is in young adults and whether it is linked to cavities. MIH causes white or yellow spots on molars and front teeth and can make them weaker.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This trial compares two ways of removing tooth decay in children with a condition called MIH (which makes enamel weak and spotted). It tests whether selective or non-selective drilling works better for deep cavities, aiming to save the tooth and keep the nerve healthy.
This study looks at how common enamel defects are in second baby molars and whether they are linked to similar defects in permanent teeth. It helps dentists understand these conditions better.
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.
This study tests a quick, less invasive method to treat permanent back teeth that have white or brown spots and weak enamel (a condition called MIH). The treatment involves placing a special metal cap on the tooth. The research tracks how this affects how the teeth bite together over time.
