ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two treatments, Giomer varnish and fluoride varnish, to see which one works better in reducing tooth sensitivity in children with a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). This condition affects the enamel, or outer layer, of teeth, making them sensitive and uncomfortable. The study will include children aged 8 to 10 years who have at least one affected tooth and are healthy enough to participate.

To be part of this trial, children must be able to cooperate during dental visits and should not have had any similar treatments in the last three months. The study is not currently recruiting participants, but it aims to help understand which treatment can provide better relief for sensitive teeth in children with MIH. Participants will receive one of the varnish treatments, and their progress will be monitored during follow-up visits to see how well their sensitivity improves.
