Masking treatment for tooth discoloration in kids
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests how well two treatments, a special resin and aesthetic masking, hide white or creamy spots on front teeth caused by a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). It aims to find the best way to improve the look of affected teeth in children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Healthy children with permanent front teeth that have mild white or creamy spots from MIH
- Spots must be on the front surface of the tooth, not on the biting edge or near the gum
- Child must be cooperative during dental visits (positive or definitely positive behavior)
- Parent or guardian must agree to sign a consent form
- No broken enamel, cavities, or prior treatment on those teeth in the last 6 months
- No history of allergies

This study compares two types of tooth-colored coatings (sealants) for protecting permanent molars affected by a condition called molar-incisor hyponineralization. The goal is to see which sealant works better to prevent decay and reduce sensitivity.
This trial tests a dental treatment called resin infiltration, which is a liquid that is applied to the white or discolored spots on permanent front teeth caused by a condition called molar-incisor hypomineralization. The treatment aims to improve the appearance of these spots and strengthen the enamel without needing drilling or fillings.
This study tests a special remineralizing paste on mild enamel spots (called MIH) on children's permanent molars. The paste may help strengthen the enamel and reduce sensitivity.
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.
This study tests two ways to numb teeth—in the bone or in the gum—to see which works better for children with weak enamel on their back teeth and front teeth. It may help find a pain-free way to treat these teeth.
This study compares two ways to make dental numbing more effective for children with MIH (a condition that causes chalky spots on teeth). It tests whether silver diamine fluoride or cold therapy applied inside the mouth helps the numbing medicine work better, so your child may feel less discomfort during dental work.
