Natural toothbrush stick vs. fluoride toothpaste for children's teeth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares the effect of a natural toothbrush stick (miswak) with regular fluoride toothpaste on children's teeth that have a condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which causes white, yellow, or brown spots on the permanent molars and front teeth. The goal is to see if miswak can help as well as fluoride toothpaste in treating these spots.

- Your child has at least one first permanent molar or incisor with white, creamy, yellow, or brown spots typical of MIH
- Your child has not had other treatments for MIH besides fluoride applications
- You and your child are willing to participate and be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups

This study compares two kinds of toothpaste to see which one better helps rebuild the enamel on teeth affected by molar incisor hypomineralization (a condition where teeth have weaker enamel). It may help children with this condition achieve stronger, healthier teeth.
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 study tests whether rinsing off or blotting dry a special silver fluoride liquid before placing a tooth sealant helps the sealant last longer on molars affected by a common condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization. The goal is to find the best way to protect these teeth from cavities.
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 a special remineralizing paste on mild enamel spots (called MIH) on children's permanent molars. The paste may help strengthen the enamel and reduce sensitivity.
