A Comparative Evaluation of the Clinical Effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Intraosseous and Infiltration Anesthesia Techniques in Children With Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization

Children who present to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Dental Research and Application Center, and are deemed eligible for inclusion in the study based on routine clinical examination and radiographic evaluation, will be provided with written and verbal information regarding the purpose and scope of the research. Informed consent will be obtained from those children and their legal guardians who voluntarily agree to participate in the study.

The study plans to include 30 children aged between 6 and 12 years, who have no systemic diseases and present with Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) and carious lesions not extending to the pulp tissue in their maxillary permanent first molars.

A three-session treatment protocol will be administered to participants who meet the inclusion criteria and have signed the informed consent form. A minimum interval of one week will be maintained between sessions, and the sequence of interventions will be determined through randomization.

First Session:

In the first session, a detailed medical and dental history of the patient will be obtained. During the intraoral examination, teeth affected by MIH will be identified, and the degree of MIH as well as the presence of carious lesions will be evaluated through clinical and radiographic examination. All findings will be recorded in the patient data form.
