Effect of Resin Infiltration on Hypersensitivity and Satisfaction in Children With Enamel Defects
- Conditions
- Molar Incisor Hypomineralization, Enamel Hypoplasia, Dental Hypersensitivity, Developmental Enamel Defects
- Registration Number
- NCT07118111
- Lead Sponsor
- Gizem Tıraşçı
- Brief Summary
This study evaluates the effect of resin infiltration on dental sensitivity, quality of life, and satisfaction in children aged 7-14 with enamel defects in their front teeth. Forty children received treatment, and outcomes were measured through sensitivity tests and questionnaires for both children and parents.
- Detailed Description
Developmental enamel defects can negatively impact oral health-related quality of life by causing esthetic concerns and dental hypersensitivity in children. This prospective clinical study included 40 children aged 7-14 years diagnosed with hypomineralization or hypoplasia in their anterior teeth. All participants received resin infiltration treatment. Dental hypersensitivity was evaluated pre- and post-treatment using the Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale (SCASS). Oral health-related quality of life was assessed using the Pediatric Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (POQL) scale through both child and parent forms. Post-treatment esthetic satisfaction levels were recorded based on reports from both children and their parents. The study aimed to determine the impact of resin infiltration on improving sensitivity, quality of life, and satisfaction in this population.

Study & Design
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- SINGLE_GROUP
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Dental Hypersensitivity and Patient-Parent Satisfaction 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment Dental hypersensitivity will be assessed using the Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale (SCASS) before treatment and at 1, 3, and 6 months post-treatment. Patient and parent satisfaction regarding esthetic and functional outcomes will be measured through standardized questionnaires administered after treatment.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method ral Health-Related Quality of Life, Esthetic Evaluation, Treatment Compliance Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) will be measured using the Pediatric Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (POQL) scale completed by both children and their parents before treatment and at follow-up visits. Esthetic changes will be assessed via clinical evaluations and patient/parent satisfaction surveys. Treatment compliance and acceptability will be recorded during the intervention process. Any adverse effects or complications following resin infiltration treatment will be monitored and documented throughout the study period.
