ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how common a condition called hypomineralization is in the second set of primary molars (the big back teeth) of Egyptian children. Hypomineralization means that the enamel, which is the hard outer layer of the tooth, doesn’t develop properly. The study also looks at whether there's a connection between this condition in the molars and a similar issue in primary canines (the sharp front teeth). Researchers want to explore what might cause these dental problems.

To participate in the study, children must be between 4 and 9 years old and in good health. Both boys and girls are welcome, but the trial is only for Egyptian children. Unfortunately, kids with certain other health conditions or dental defects won't be included. Since the study is still in the planning stage and hasn’t started recruiting participants yet, it’s a great opportunity for eligible families to contribute to important research that could help improve dental care in the future.
