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 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 ways of cleaning teeth before placing protective sealants (thin plastic coatings that prevent cavities) on children's permanent back teeth. It looks at whether a newer, gentler cleaning method ('guided biofilm therapy') helps the sealants stay in place longer than the traditional polishing method.
This study tests whether a newer type of tooth-colored filling material helps protect the deep grooves of children's back teeth from cavities better than the standard sealant. Your child may receive either the new material or the standard one, with or without a minor groove widening, to see which works best.
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.
