Injection Molding Technique: A Minimally Invasive Management for Enamel Hypoplasia Affecting Permanent Anterior Teeth in Children A Randomized Clinical Trial

Clinical performance using World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria for evaluating direct restorations.

时间窗: every 6months for 2 years

Clinical performance of an injectable giomer compared to composite restoration in permanent anterior teeth with enamel hypoplasia evaluated by FDI criteria to assess the quality of direct restorations. These are divided into functional, biological, esthetic, and miscellaneous properties. The functional properties assess the fracture of material, its retention, the marginal adaptation, the proximal contact point, the form and contour, the occlusion and wear of dental restorations. The biological assess the presence of recurrent caries, the hard dental tissue defect at the restoration margin, postoperative hypersensitivity and pulpal status, while the esthetic evaluates surface luster and texture, marginal staining, and color match. The miscellaneous examines the patient's perspective of the restoration and the radiographic appearance of the restorations. Every domain assessed is given a score from 1-5, where 1 indicates a clinically excellent property and 5 a clinically poor property.
