Comparing numbing methods for kids with MIH teeth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be between 6 and 12 years old
- Must have weak enamel on both the top left and top right first permanent molars (back teeth) and possibly front teeth
- Must be healthy overall and have no known allergies
- Must have a cooperative attitude during dental visits (Frankl score of 3 or 4)
- Must not have any major tooth pain or need emergency dental treatment
- Child and parent must agree to take part and sign a consent form

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 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 study tests whether a glass ionomer sealant can protect molars with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a type of enamel weakness, by sealing the biting surface. It may help reduce damage in affected teeth when children still have healthy surfaces that can be sealed.
This study compares two types of dental sealants (a protective coating) for children with mild MIH (molar-incisor hypomineralization), where the back teeth have sensitive spots. It tests if a newer material (giomer) works better than the standard resin sealant.
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 whether GIomer varnish or fluoride varnish works better to reduce tooth sensitivity in children with MIH (a common enamel problem). You may join if your child has sensitive MIH-affected molars or incisors and can attend follow-up visits.
