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.

Conditions

• Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation
• Enamel Hypoplasia
• Dental Hypersensitivity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Resin infiltration	Application of a low-viscosity resin infiltrant to the anterior teeth affected by enamel defects. This procedure aims to reduce dental hypersensitivity and improve esthetic appearance.
