Sensitivity Treatments for Teeth with Molar Incisor Hypomineralization: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The sensitivity of teeth with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) can affect children's quality of life and is a challenging problem for dentists. Remineralizing agents such as sodium fluoride varnish seem to reduce the sensitivity of teeth with MIH, but long-term clinical trials with large samples are still needed for more evidence about its effectiveness as a desensitizing agent before its clinical recommendation.

Objective

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare three treatment interventions for teeth with MIH and hypersensitivity.

Methods

A total of 60 children aged 6-10 years presenting with at least one first permanent molar with sensitivity and no loss of enamel will be randomly assigned to three groups: the control group (sodium fluoride v
