Tooth-colored fillings for molars with weak enamel
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 7 and 11 years old.
- The first permanent molars (back teeth) must have weak enamel due to MIH (scores MIH-TNI 2 or 4).
- These molars should not have had any past dental treatment for the weakened enamel.
- The teeth must have cavities on the chewing surface.
- Your child must not have any serious medical conditions, physical/mental disability, or other enamel defects like amelogenesis imperfecta.
- Your child must be able to cooperate during dental treatment and have no allergies to local anesthetics or dental filling materials.

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 trial tests if a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) combined with a new filling material can reduce tooth pain and make the filling last longer in children with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH)—a condition that makes teeth sensitive and weak.
This trial tests a new type of tooth filling for teenagers whose permanent molars have a condition called MIH (enamel that is soft and prone to breaking). The filling uses a special material to see if it lasts longer and causes less pain than standard fillings.
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 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.
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.
