Which filling lasts longer in Kids' weak enamel? a Head-to-Head trial

NCT ID NCT07733804

First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two dental filling materials—a glass hybrid and a composite with fiber reinforcement—in children whose first permanent molars have a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which causes weak, chalky enamel. The study aims to see which material holds up better over five years in terms of retention, decay prevention, and overall function. Participants receive both types of fillings in different teeth, allowing a direct comparison within each child.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
dental restorative materials (glass hybrid and short fiber-reinforced composite with micro-hybrid composite)
What this could lead to
If one material outperforms the other, it could guide dentists toward more durable fillings for children with weak enamel, reducing the need for repeat treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to all children. Both materials could perform similarly or fail over time.
