About this trial

The goal of the study is to evaluate the clinical performance of giomer sealant preceded by etching versus resin-based sealants applied on first permanent molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH)

The main question it aims to answer is :

Will the use of Giomer (Beautisealant, Shofu, Kyoto, Japan) Preceded by Etching result in similar clinical performance as Resin-Based Sealants(UltraSeal XT™ Plus™ by Ultradent) Applied on Permanent Molars Affected by Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization?

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Healthy children aged 6-14 years who are diagnosed with mild (MIH) according to European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) criteria which includes demarcated enamel opacities (white, creamy, or yellow to brownish), that may induce sensitivity to external stimuli without enamel breakdown.

Cooperative children.

Presenting at least one first permanent molar (FPMs) that were fully erupted and indicated for non-invasive fissure sealant.

Medically fit Children (ASA I).

Disqualifiers

Children have hypomineralized (FPMs) with post-eruptive breakdown, cavitated and non-cavitated carious lesions, restorations, or fixed orthodontic appliances.

Enamel defects due to a condition other than (MIH).

Parents are not willing to join.

Molars that cannot be isolated using rubber dam.
