Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical evaluation involves children aged 6-12 who visit Başkent University Faculty of Dentistry for routine dental examinations. The study focuses on assessing the effectiveness of two different resin-based flowable filling materials as pit and fissure sealants in children diagnosed with molar incisor hypomineralization. Participants will undergo a thorough dental examination, and the effectiveness of the sealants will be evaluated over a 12-month follow-up period. The aim is to enhance patient comfort and reduce treatment time by utilizing self-adhesive flowable composites.
