Liquid resin as a sealant for deep back teeth grooves
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 8 years old.
- Your child should be generally healthy, with no long-term illnesses.
- Both lower first permanent molars (the big back teeth on the bottom) must be fully out and have deep grooves on top.
- Those molars must have come in within the last 3 years.
- The selected teeth must not have any fillings, sealants, white spots, or cavities.
- Your child cannot have allergies to dental plastics, very poor oral hygiene, weak tooth enamel, or teeth grinding.

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.
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 study compares two types of dental sealants (a protective coating) for children with mild MIH (molar-incisor hypomineralization), where the back teeth have sensitive spots. It tests if a newer material (giomer) works better than the standard resin sealant.
This study compares three types of tooth-colored fillings for cavities in the back teeth of children aged 4-9. It looks at how well they work, their effect on bacteria in the mouth, and how they affect saliva acidity, aiming to find the best option for kids.
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 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.
