Sealants and Laser to Prevent Cavities in MIH-Affected Molars
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 9 years old.
- At least one permanent back tooth (molar) must have MIH (a condition that weakens enamel).
- That tooth must not have any broken-down areas (post-eruptive breakdown) yet.
- The tooth should have only small or no cavities (ICDAS scores 0, 1, or 2).
- Your child must be in good general health (no major medical conditions).
- The tooth must not have a large cavity, a defective filling, deep damage needing a filling, or signs of infection.

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 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 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 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.
This study tests two methods—a special fluoride liquid and a cold therapy—to see which better numbs the pain of treating MIH-affected molars in children ages 6 to 12. It may help find a gentler way to make dental treatment more comfortable.
This study tests whether GIomer varnish or fluoride varnish works better to reduce tooth sensitivity in children with MIH (a common enamel problem). You may join if your child has sensitive MIH-affected molars or incisors and can attend follow-up visits.
