Cavity removal methods for MIH-affected molars
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of removing tooth decay in children with a condition called MIH (which makes enamel weak and spotted). It tests whether selective or non-selective drilling works better for deep cavities, aiming to save the tooth and keep the nerve healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be under 13 years old.
- Must have a molar with MIH (enamel defect) and a deep cavity that doesn't reach the nerve.
- Tooth must respond to cold, have healthy gums, and be fixable with a filling.
- No signs of tooth nerve infection (like swelling or a pimple on the gum).
- No serious medical conditions or need for tooth removal.

This study tests a quick, less invasive method to treat permanent back teeth that have white or brown spots and weak enamel (a condition called MIH). The treatment involves placing a special metal cap on the tooth. The research tracks how this affects how the teeth bite together over time.
This trial tests a gentler way to remove deep cavities in young permanent molars or premolars, aiming to save more of the tooth and protect the nerve. It may be an option for children and teens with deep decay that hasn't reached the pulp.
This study looks at how the color of white, yellow, or brown spots on children's first permanent molars (the back teeth that come in around age 6) relates to the breakdown of the enamel (the outer layer). It aims to help dentists better identify and treat this condition early.
This study tests whether a special varnish with nano particles can reduce tooth sensitivity in children with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that makes teeth weak and sensitive. Your child would get either a nano varnish or a gel applied to their sensitive permanent teeth.
This study looks at whether the color of spotted first permanent molars (caused by MIH) is linked to tooth sensitivity. It compares children with MIH to children with healthy teeth to understand the connection between color and pain.
This study looks at how common a tooth condition called Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is in young adults and whether it is linked to cavities. MIH causes white or yellow spots on molars and front teeth and can make them weaker.
