Gum health markers in kids with weak enamel
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at certain signs of gum inflammation in children who have a condition called MIH (weak or discolored enamel on molars and front teeth) and need gum treatment. It aims to see if their gum health markers differ from children without MIH who also need gum treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Ages 8 to 13 and in good general health
- Willing to cooperate with dental checkups and study steps
- Have gum disease (gingivitis) that needs treatment
- If you have MIH: at least 3 of your back teeth (first molars) are affected
- If you are in the control group: you do not have MIH but still have gum disease needing treatment
- No antibiotics in the past month, no braces, no major health conditions

This study measures how well children with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH)—a condition where permanent molars and front teeth don't develop their protective outer layer properly—can chew and bite compared to children without it. Understanding this helps dentists plan better treatments.
This trial compares two types of tooth-colored fillings (direct composite and indirect hybrid resin) for treating first permanent molars that have weak enamel due to a condition called Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH). The goal is to see which filling works better in the long term.
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.
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 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 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.
