Comparing two types of tooth sealants for kids with MIH
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new pre-etched bioactive sealant works better than a standard resin-based one to protect permanent molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that makes teeth softer and more prone to cavities. It aims to find a more effective way to prevent decay in these vulnerable teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 12 years old.
- They have at least one fully grown first permanent molar with white, creamy, or yellowish-brown spots (MIH) but no cavities or broken enamel.
- Your child has no other medical conditions that affect treatment.
- Your child can sit still and cooperate for a dental procedure.
- The affected molar is fully enough erupted that it can be kept dry during treatment.
- Your child has not had any fillings, sealants, or extractions on that molar.

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 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 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 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 different cleaning agents used before placing tooth-colored sealants on the back teeth of children. The goal is to see which agent helps the sealants last longer and protect teeth better from cavities.
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.
