Filter by:The aim of this study was to present a comparative evaluation of the long-term efficacy of fluoride varnish( Flúor protector), Clinpro™ White Varnish and pastes containing CPP-ACP in the remineralization of creamy-white and yellow brown defects in incisors and permanent first molars with Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) in schoolchildren 6-12 years-old in Mexico.
The purpose of this randomized, controlled clinical study is to evaluate if application of 38% SDF increases the efficacy of local anesthesia during operative dentistry on permanent molars affected by molar-incisor hypoplasia (MIH). The goal is to determine if pre-operative application of SDF results in improved local anesthesia and decrease in procedural pain in MIH affected teeth, thereby addressing an important challenge in routine clinical practice and contributing to the development of a treatment protocol for MIH affected molars.
This single armed cohort study is aimed to assess the acceptance, durability and efficiency of glass-Ionomer sealing technique on hypersensitive MIH molars (TNI-3 & 4a/b/c) clinically shortly (15 minutes) after the application and after a time period of 3 months.
Molar and Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative developmental defect of the dental enamel with a multifactorial aetiology defined in 2001 as an "hypomineralization of systemic origin affecting one or more permanent molars, usually first permanent molars (FPMs) with or without the involvement of one or more affected permanent incisors". Due to its porous structure with an altered prism organization and an increased content of proteins, the hypomineralized enamel has reduced mechanical properties and a lower refractive index in comparison to the sound enamel. MIH is associated to a large number of objective and subjective problems as an altered aesthetics, an increased risk of plaque accumulation, caries and/or post-eruptive breakdown, reduced retention rates of adhesive materials, hypersensitivity and difficulty in anesthetizing the affected teeth that make its management a challenging condition. MIH is a very widespread pathology with a worldwide prevalence ranging from 2.8 to 44% and a global average prevalence of 13.1% with significant geographical differences. In 2015, the number of global prevalent cases was estimated at 878 million people with a percentage of needing-care cases of 27.4% (in mean 240 million prevalent cases). In Europe, MIH prevalence rates between 3.6 to 25%. Regarding Italy, a limited number of prevalence studies are available. Recently, literature reports that the presence of MIH-like lesions in primary dentition, especially on second primary molars, may be a predictive factor for developing MIH in permanent dentition. However, the absence of this defect called Hypomineralized Second Primary Molars (HSPM) does not rule out MIH development. The early diagnosis of HSPM is very useful to early diagnose MIH and reduce its care burden. The reported HSPM global prevalence rate ranges from 0 to 21.8% with a global average about 7.88%. MIH and HSPM are both very widespread pathologies affecting an increasing number of children worldwide and represent a significant problem in pediatric dentistry. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of MIH in Italian (Trieste), Spanish (Huesca, Zaragoza) and Turkish (Istanbul) children. The hypothesis is that the estimated prevalence of MIH may be in line with that reported in literature and that the presence of HSPM in primary dentition may be associated with MIH development in permanent dentition.
Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a worldwide widespread qualitative developmental defect of the dental enamel with a multifactorial aetiology defined in 2001 as an "hypomineralization of systemic origin affecting one or more permanent molars, usually first permanent molars (FPMs), with or without the involvement of one or more affected permanent incisors". Clinically MIH lesions appear as demarcated opacities with a creamy-white to yellow-brown colour depending on the severity of the defect that is classified as mild or severe (levels of severity) according to the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) severity criteria. The distribution of the lesions is asymmetrical and their severity varies from a patient to another and also within the mouth of the same patient. Due to its porous structure with an altered prism organization and an increased content of proteins, the hypomineralized enamel has reduced mechanical properties and a lower refractive index if compared to the sound enamel. MIH is associated to a large number of objective and subjective problems as an altered aesthetics, an increased risk of plaque accumulation, caries, post-eruptive breakdown (PEB), reduced retention rates of adhesive materials, hypersensitivity and difficulty in anesthetizing the affected teeth making its management a challenging condition. Among preventive measures, pit-and-fissure sealants are a valuable and effective treatment to prevent occlusal caries in FPMs when they are still intact. However, since their efficacy is closely related to the sealant retention, they have to be monitored over time. When the molar to be sealed is fully erupted and isolation is adequate, resin-based sealants are indicated while if the moisture control is inadequate and/or the tooth is hypersensitive and patient is not sufficiently cooperative, low-viscous glass ionomer cements (GICs) are suggested as a temporary measure until the eruption is completed and both symptoms and cooperation are improved. To date, the scientific knowledge regarding the use of different type of sealants in MIH affected molars is insufficient to draw exhaustive conclusions and further studies are needed to deepen the knowledge on this topic. The aim of this study is to assess, by clinical examination, the survival rate of a glass ionomer sealant in MIH affected FPMs at 12 months of follow-up.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the association of casein phosphopeptide plus amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACPF) mousse and photo-bio-modulation therapy (PMBT) (diode laser, RAFFAELLO 980 BIO - Dental Medical Technologies - DMT S.r.l.) in the treatment of dental hypersensitivity (DH) in children with Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) . Children aged 6-14 years with hypersensitive teeth were randomized into 3 groups. Group A received the application of CPP-ACPF mousse (GC MI Paste®) and sham light therapy; group B got the application of placebo mousse (Elmex Junior®) and PMBT; group C received both CPP-ACPF mousse and PMBT.
The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcome of using direct esthetic composite restorations in managing MIH cases and the use of preformed metal crowns.
Molar-Incisive Hipomineralization (MIH) is defined as a qualitative change in tooth enamel of systemic origin, which affects one or more permanent first molars, and may or may not involve permanent incisors. MIH has several clinical repercussions, such as presence of hypersensitivity, difficulty in local anesthesia, reduction of restorations longevity, among others, making it difficult to perform dental treatment. Therefore, the present study will evaluate, through a randomized controlled clinical study, three restorative protocols for the treatment of severe MIH (with post eruptive enamel fracture and dentin exposure). The following groups will be evaluated: direct restoration with composite resin; restoration with composite resin with diode laser application and temporary restoration with glass ionomer cement followed by restoration with composite resin). The restorations will be evaluated after 1 week, 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. The main outcome will be evaluation of restoration longevity, presence of caries lesion and wear of the restoration surface. Other outcomes such as patient satisfaction with treatment, patient discomfort, anxiety, assessment of dentin sensitivity and impact on participants' quality of life, as well as the duration and cost of treatment, as well as their cost-effectiveness ratio will also be evaluated . Multilevel statistical analyzes will be performed to verify the effectiveness of diode laser treatment compared to sealing, in addition to possible factors associated with this efficacy.
