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 trial tests two treatments for sensitive teeth that have a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which causes weak enamel and pain. It aims to see if a special varnish or gel can reduce the sensitivity and improve comfort.
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 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 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 a tooth condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which causes weak spots on the molars and front teeth, and checks how it relates to cavities in young adults. By joining, you help researchers understand this condition better, which may lead to better dental care.
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.
