ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two types of sealants designed to protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth, known as molars, from cavities. One sealant is a new bioactive resin, and the other is a traditional fluoride-releasing resin. The study will help determine which sealant works better in preventing cavities when applied to teeth that are at high risk but currently have no signs of decay.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 6 and 10 years old and have certain teeth that are fully erupted and show no signs of cavities. You should also be able to cooperate and follow instructions and have good oral hygiene. Unfortunately, if you have certain health issues, allergies to specific materials, or severe dental problems, you may not be eligible to join. If you are chosen to participate, you can expect to have your teeth assessed using simple visual checks and a special camera. This study aims to improve dental care for children at risk of developing cavities.
