Miswak vs. fluoride toothpaste for children's teeth with MIH
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares the effect of a natural teeth-cleaning stick called Miswak to standard fluoride toothpaste on teeth affected by Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that causes spots on the enamel. The goal is to see which is better at managing the condition for children ages 6-12.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child has at least one of their first permanent molars or front teeth with white, creamy, yellow, or brown spots from MIH.
- Your child is generally healthy with no serious medical conditions.
- Your child is not currently receiving other treatments for MIH besides fluoride.
- You and your child are willing to take part and be randomly assigned to use Miswak or fluoride toothpaste.

This trial compares a hydroxyapatite toothpaste to a standard fluoride one to see which better repairs early weak spots on permanent teeth caused by a condition called MIH. It might help if your child has at least one affected molar or incisor.
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 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 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 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.
