Ancient toothbrush takes on modern toothpaste in Kids' dental trial
NCT ID NCT07355465
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares the natural chewing stick Miswak to standard fluoride toothpaste for managing tooth sensitivity and preventing cavities in children aged 6-12 with a condition called Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH). MIH causes weak, discolored enamel that is prone to pain and decay. The trial will measure changes in tooth color and sensitivity over time. The goal is to find a simple, natural option to help control these dental problems.
