New tooth sealant tested for kids with weak enamel
NCT ID NCT07504614
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a new pre-etched bioactive sealant against a standard resin sealant for protecting permanent molars in children aged 6-12 who have molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that weakens enamel. The trial will check how well each sealant stays on, prevents cavities, and reduces tooth sensitivity. 76 children will be enrolled to see which sealant works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pre-etched bioactive fissure sealant
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a better way to protect children's molars affected by MIH from cavities and sensitivity.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 76 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new sealant might not perform better than the standard one.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 6-12-year-old patients with at least one fully erupted first permanent molar (FPM) diagnosed with MIH defects (White, creamy, or yellow to brownish opacities greater than one millimetre) without posteruptive enamel breakdown or caries (ICDAS code 0 or 1). * Non -contributory medical history * Children must exhibit sufficient cooperation for treatment. * FPMs status of eruption must allow for proper isolation. Exclusion Criteria:- * Medically compromised patient.- Partially erupted MIH first permanent molars that could not be sufficiently isolated. * Carious molars. * Restored MIH molars. * Sealed MIH molars. * MIH molars with extensive enamel breakdown that requires restoration. * MIH molars planned for extraction (compensatory or balancing extraction) as part of elective extraction plan of MIH molars with poor long-term prognosis. * Molars affected with other enamel defects ((e.g., amelogenesis imperfecta or fluorosis) * Non-MIH affected molars. * Parents did not consent for treatment. * Child not sufficiently cooperative for treatment.
