NCT ID NCT07262502
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a special tooth sealant that works even on wet teeth. Researchers will apply the sealant to 500 molars in 250 children aged 7-11, comparing how well it holds up when the tooth is dried for 3 seconds versus 15 seconds. The goal is to see if the sealant prevents cavities just as well in both cases, which could make dental visits easier and faster for kids.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hydrophilic pit and fissure sealant (Embrace Wetbond)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a hydrophilic sealant works well even in slightly wet conditions, making cavity prevention easier and more reliable for children.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 250 children, and results may not apply to all kids or other teeth. The sealant might still fail or discolor over time.
