VR vs tell-show-do for kids with MIH tooth pain
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mental health, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares using virtual reality or the tell-show-do technique to reduce pain and anxiety in children getting fillings on MIH-affected molars. It may help if your child needs a regular filling and is comfortable with simple dental visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child has at least two first permanent molars with MIH that need a filling (class I cavity).
- Your child is cooperative and you as a parent are willing to follow the study procedures.
- Your child is not allergic to numbing medicines or other drugs used for the procedure.
- Your child has no long-term health conditions like diabetes or heart disease.

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 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 two ways to numb teeth—in the bone or in the gum—to see which works better for children with weak enamel on their back teeth and front teeth. It may help find a pain-free way to treat these teeth.
This study compares a computer-controlled numbing method to the traditional shot for children who have weak enamel (molar-incisor hypomineralization) and need a filling. The goal is to see which method is more comfortable and effective.
This trial tests whether virtual reality or a show-do method works better to reduce dental anxiety in children who have moderate to severe hearing loss. If your child needs a dental cleaning, this could help make the visit less stressful.
This study tests a pain-relieving medicine given before dental treatment to see if it helps reduce pain and anxiety in children with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that causes weak enamel on molars and front teeth.
