ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new way to protect children's teeth, specifically their permanent molars, from cavities. Researchers want to compare a special treatment called ICON resin infiltration with a traditional sealant to see which one works better. They will check how well each method seals the teeth and prevents leaks, which can lead to decay.

To participate, children must be between 6 to 8 years old and have healthy, fully erupted lower first permanent molars that have deep grooves. It's important that these molars are free from any cavities or previous treatments. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but if eligible, children can expect to receive either the new resin infiltration treatment or the conventional sealant during the study. This research is important because it could help improve how we protect children's teeth from cavities in the future.
