Sealant study for children with sensitive molars (MIH)
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 14 years old.
- Your child has at least one fully grown first permanent molar (a back tooth) that has white, creamy, yellow, or brownish spots and feels sensitive (but no cracks or breaks in the enamel).
- Your child is generally healthy (no major medical conditions).
- Your child is cooperative and can sit still for a dental visit.
- Parents agree to the study.

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 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 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 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.
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.
