Sealant study for children with weak enamel
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have at least two fully grown first permanent molars.
- Those molars must have been diagnosed with molar incisor hypomineralization (weak or chalky enamel) by a dentist following standard guidelines.
- The enamel defects should be in the early stages.
- Your child cannot be in braces or other orthodontic treatment.
- Your child must be able to cooperate during dental procedures.
- The affected teeth must not have large cavities, existing fillings, fluorosis (too much fluoride staining), or enamel problems caused by a genetic syndrome.
- The affected teeth must not have any signs of nerve damage (pulp symptoms).

This study compares two types of tooth-colored coatings (sealants) for protecting permanent molars affected by a condition called molar-incisor hyponineralization. The goal is to see which sealant works better to prevent decay and reduce sensitivity.
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 remineralizing paste on mild enamel spots (called MIH) on children's permanent molars. The paste may help strengthen the enamel and reduce sensitivity.
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 compares two ways to make dental numbing more effective for children with MIH (a condition that causes chalky spots on teeth). It tests whether silver diamine fluoride or cold therapy applied inside the mouth helps the numbing medicine work better, so your child may feel less discomfort during dental work.
This study tests whether rinsing off or blotting dry a special silver fluoride liquid before placing a tooth sealant helps the sealant last longer on molars affected by a common condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization. The goal is to find the best way to protect these teeth from cavities.
