Dental crowns for children with weak first molars
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a dental procedure to place special crowns on the first permanent molars (back teeth) that are weak due to a condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH). The crowns may help protect the teeth and improve how they bite together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be generally healthy (no serious medical or psychological conditions).
- Your child must be able to cooperate during dental treatment (not overly fearful or anxious).
- Your child must have at least one permanent first molar (the first adult back tooth) that needs a crown because of MIH.
- The affected molar must have an opposing tooth to bite against, and the bite should be stable.
- The tooth must not have signs of severe infection or gum disease.
- You and your child must agree to attend follow-up visits and give written consent.

This study compares two ways to place crowns on badly damaged permanent back teeth in children: the Hall technique, which doesn't require drilling or numbing, and the conventional method. It aims to see which approach works better for saving these teeth.
This study tests the Hall Technique, a way to place stainless steel crowns on baby molars without numbing or drilling. It looks at how the crown affects your child's bite, and may help kids with cavities in back baby teeth who can cooperate for treatment.
This study tests a tooth-saving treatment for children's cavities in baby molars, using a special crown without needles or drills. It aims to see if parents are happy with this method.
This study compares two types of dental crowns (stainless steel vs. resin) for baby molars to see which works better. If your child needs full mouth dental work under general anesthesia, they may be able to join.
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 custom-made and prefabricated zirconia crowns for children whose first permanent molars are badly damaged by cavities or a condition called molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH). It aims to see which type of crown works better.
