Enamel problems in baby teeth and permanent teeth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether children with a common tooth enamel problem in baby molars (called hypomineralized second primary molars) also have the same problem in permanent teeth (molar-incisor hypomineralization). It may help find early signs so children can get better dental care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 6 and 12 years old
- Child can be any gender
- Parent or guardian must agree to sign a consent form
- Child is Egyptian
- Child does not have certain enamel defects (like fluorosis or inherited conditions affecting tooth enamel)

This study looks at how common a certain enamel problem (called hypomineralized second primary molars) is in Egyptian children. It will help dentists understand how often this condition affects children and may lead to better dental care.
This study looks at how the color of white, yellow, or brown spots on children's first permanent molars (the back teeth that come in around age 6) relates to the breakdown of the enamel (the outer layer). It aims to help dentists better identify and treat this condition early.
This study looks at a tooth condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which causes weak spots on the molars and front teeth, and checks how it relates to cavities in young adults. By joining, you help researchers understand this condition better, which may lead to better dental care.
This study compares different types of enamel problems by taking detailed pictures of your front teeth. It may help researchers better tell these enamel conditions apart and improve future diagnosis and care.
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 looks at whether the color of spotted first permanent molars (caused by MIH) is linked to tooth sensitivity. It compares children with MIH to children with healthy teeth to understand the connection between color and pain.
