Tooth color and enamel loss in children with MIH
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 5 to 8 years old.
- Your child's first permanent molars (the back teeth that come in around age 6) must be fully in place and touching the opposite teeth.
- Your child must be generally healthy.
- Your child must not have had any dental treatment on those affected molars yet.
- Your child must not have other tooth problems, like wear from grinding or other developmental defects.

This study looks at whether the color of spotted first permanent molars (caused by MIH) is linked to tooth sensitivity. It compares children with MIH to children with healthy teeth to understand the connection between color and pain.
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 looks at how common enamel defects are in second baby molars and whether they are linked to similar defects in permanent teeth. It helps dentists understand these conditions better.
This study tests whether a special varnish with nano particles can reduce tooth sensitivity in children with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that makes teeth weak and sensitive. Your child would get either a nano varnish or a gel applied to their sensitive permanent teeth.
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.
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.
