NCT ID NCT07131358
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests three cavity-prevention methods in 204 Mexican schoolchildren aged 6-8. One group gets fluoride varnish alone, another gets a glass ionomer sealant plus fluoride varnish, and the third gets a Giomer® sealant. All children also receive dental health education. Researchers will track new cavities over 24 months to find the most effective approach.
