Molar Incisor Hypomineralization
Conditions
Keywords
Anesthesia, Cold test, Electrical pulp test
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.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTEvaluation of cold test
Cold test evaluation to describe the sensitivity level of teeth due to induce the hydrodynamic forces in dentine tubules.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTEvaluation of electrical pulp test
Electrical pulp test evaluation to describe the sensitivity level of teeth due to induce the nerve fibers in pulp tissue.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTEvaluation of pain during the treatment
Describe the sensitivity level due to induce the hydrodynamic forces during treatment procedure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical pulp test results | Time 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 results | Time 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 treatment | Pain 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. |
