ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how common and severe a dental condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is in children who have type I diabetes. MIH affects the way the teeth develop, making them weaker and more prone to cavities. The study will involve examining children aged 8 to 14 years who have type I diabetes and have all four of their first permanent molars. During the examination, the dentist will gently clean the teeth and use special tools to check for any issues without taking X-rays.

To be eligible for this trial, children must be between 8 and 14 years old, have type I diabetes, and have all four first permanent molars grown in. Children with braces, other types of enamel defects, or other health conditions that could affect their teeth will not be included. Participants can expect a thorough dental check-up where the severity of any MIH will be recorded, and the results will be monitored by the study team to ensure everything is done properly. This study aims to better understand the dental health challenges faced by children with diabetes and to identify any treatment needs they may have.
