Bioactive vs. standard tooth sealant wear study
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares a new type of tooth sealant (made with bioactive glass) against a standard plastic sealant. The goal is to see which one better protects the grooves of back teeth from cavities. The fit is tight because it only includes healthy young adults with specific tooth conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 25 years old.
- Your back teeth (molars) are healthy, with no cavities, fillings, or sealants on them.
- You have a clean mouth and good oral hygiene habits.
- You have no serious medical conditions, allergies to dental plastics, or habits like teeth grinding.
- You do not smoke heavily or have a dry mouth condition.

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 tests a new type of tooth sealant that may help prevent cavities in the deep grooves of permanent back molars. It's for children whose first adult molars are fully grown in and have no cavities yet.
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 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 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.
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.
