Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Molar Incisor Hypomineralization
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Evaluation of cold test
Diagnostic Test: Evaluation of electrical pulp test
Diagnostic Test: Evaluation of pain during the treatment
Registration Number
NCT04061096
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

To compare responses to electrical pulp test (EPT) and cold test among molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH)-effected and not MIH-effected carious teeth before and after administration of local anesthesia for caries removal.

Detailed Description

Fifty carious permanent first molar teeth (25 MIH-effected, 25 not MIH-effected) were included. Firstly, radiographic caries depth, International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) codes and MIH levels of teeth were recorded. Then, during the treatment, EPT and cold test were performed before and after the administration of local anesthesia. Visual Analog Scale for Pain was used to evaluate cold test and pain during treatment. When interpreting results, significancy level was stated for the values of p\<0.05.

MIH-effected carious first permanent molar teethEvaluation of electrical pulp testMIH-effected carious permanent first molar teeth were well-demarcated white/yellow or brown/yellow enamel opacities which is a sign for hypomineralization and asymptomatic which meant to be without any spontaneous pain or pain during eating or drinking, percussion or palpation tenderness, formation of abcess or fistula.
MIH-effected non-carious first permanent molar teethEvaluation of pain during the treatmentMIH-effected teeth were carious permanent first molar teeth with well-demarcated white/yellow or brown/yellow enamel opacities which is a sign for hypomineralization and did not have any sign of caries.
not MIH-effected non-carious first permanent molar teethEvaluation of cold testnot any signs of being caries or hypomineralization.
not MIH-effected non-carious first permanent molar teethEvaluation of electrical pulp testnot any signs of being caries or hypomineralization.

not MIH-effected carious first permanent molar teethEvaluation of cold testThe carious not MIH-effected teeth were only carious without any hypomineralize areas and asymptomatic which meant to be without any spontaneous pain or pain during eating or drinking, percussion or palpation tenderness, formation of abcess or fistula.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Electrical pulp test resultsTime frame of electrical pulp test evaluation was aproximately 1 hour for each participant.

Electrical pulp test values at which patients felt sensitive were recorded.

Cold test resultsTime frame of cold test evaluation was aproximately 1 hour for each participant.

Visual Analog Scale for Pain was used to evaluate the cold tests for before and after the local anesthesia. Visual analog scale was used to rate the sensitivity level of patients with 6 different faces representing different levels of pain from "0=no pain" to "10=unbearable pain".

Pain during the treatmentPain during the treatment was evaluated for aproximately 1 hour for each participant.

Visual Analog Scale for Pain was used to evaluate the pain during the treatment. Visual analog scale was used to rate the sensitivity level of patients with 6 different faces representing different levels of pain from "0=no pain" to "10=unbearable pain".
