Pain and anxiety control for kids with MIH
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a pain-relieving medicine given before dental treatment to see if it helps reduce pain and anxiety in children with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that causes weak enamel on molars and front teeth.
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 MIH (molar incisor hypomineralization) — weak spots on their back teeth or front teeth.
- The affected tooth has white or yellow-brown spots with some enamel already broken off.
- Your child does not have a cavity or previous filling on that tooth.
- Your child is not allergic to ibuprofen (like Advil or Motrin).
- Your child does not have other tooth development problems (like amelogenesis or dentinogenesis imperfecta).

This trial compares using virtual reality or the tell-show-do technique to reduce pain and anxiety in children getting fillings on MIH-affected molars. It may help if your child needs a regular filling and is comfortable with simple dental visits.
This study tests a new way to give numbing medicine to children who have very sensitive back teeth due to a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). It compares a special short needle injection into the jawbone combined with regular numbing medicine to see if it works better for treating deep cavities.
This trial tests whether a dental sealant or a special laser treatment can prevent cavities and breakdown in first permanent molars affected by MIH (a condition that makes enamel weak). Eligible children have a molar with MIH that hasn't yet broken down and has only minor cavities.
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 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 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.
