Comparing cleaning agents for tooth sealants in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares different cleaning agents used before placing tooth-colored sealants on the back teeth of children. The goal is to see which agent helps the sealants last longer and protect teeth better from cavities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 9 years old.
- They should be generally cooperative and calm during dental visits.
- They must not have a habit of clenching or grinding their teeth.
- The back teeth (lower first molars) must be newly erupted and free of cavities, sealants, or defects.
- Both you and your child must agree to come to follow-up appointments.

This study tests different cleaning agents used before applying tooth sealants on baby molars to see which works best. It may help children without cavities keep their teeth healthy.
This study tests a special adhesive to help sealants stick better and prevent cavities on back teeth in children aged 6 to 12.
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 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 tests if a newer biofilm cleaning method works better than traditional polishing before applying dental sealants to prevent cavities in children's permanent back teeth.
This trial will see if dental sealants work better on healthy teeth versus those with early signs of decay. If you have a child between 7 and 18 with fully grown back molars that have no fillings, they may be able to join.
