A new treatment for white spots on front teeth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special technique (etch-bleach-seal) using Icon® to treat white or cloudy spots on permanent front teeth caused by a condition called Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH). This approach may improve the appearance of these spots without drilling or filling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have white or cloudy spots on your permanent front teeth (upper or lower) that are not caused by braces, cavities, or other conditions.
- The spots are on the front surface of your teeth, in the middle or near the biting edge.
- You have been diagnosed with MIH (Molar Incisor Hypomineralization) – a condition that also affects your back teeth (molars).
- Your front teeth haven't had fillings, whitening, micro-abrasion, or special fluoride or calcium treatments before.
- The spots are isolated (not covering the whole tooth) and not caused by fluoride, genetics, or tetracycline antibiotics.

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.
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 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 a new way to hide white spots on permanent front teeth in children. It compares a cosmetic masking technique with a resin infiltration method to see which works better.
This study tests a new toothpaste containing nano-hydroxyapatite, a substance that mimics natural enamel, to see if it can help reduce sensitivity and improve the color of teeth affected by Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH)—a condition where first molars and sometimes front teeth have white, yellow, or brown spots. It is for children aged 6 to 12 who have these spots on at least one permanent molar or baby molar.
This study tests whether cleaning the tooth surface before applying a remineralizing paste makes the treatment more effective for children with mild white or yellow spots on their permanent molars.
