Saliva stress test for children with tooth spots
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study measures stress hormone levels in saliva of children with a tooth condition called MIH (chalky white or yellow spots on teeth) compared to healthy children. It aims to see if MIH is linked to higher stress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 8 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) — teeth with chalky spots — or be healthy with no MIH.
- Your child must be able to sit through a dental exam and provide a saliva sample.
- A parent or guardian must give written permission for the study.
- Your child must not have any long-term illnesses (like diabetes or hormone problems) or take certain medicines (like steroids) that could affect the saliva test.

This study compares two types of dental sealants applied to the first permanent molars of children aged 6-12 who have a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which means their back teeth have soft or chalky spots. The goal is to see which sealant works better at protecting these teeth from cavities.
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 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 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 looks at how common a tooth condition called Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is in young adults and whether it is linked to cavities. MIH causes white or yellow spots on molars and front teeth and can make them weaker.
