Local Anesthesia in Molar Teeth With Molar Incisor Hypomineralization

Didem Sakaryali38 enrolled

Overview

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.

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Cold test results

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".

Time frame: Time frame of cold test evaluation was aproximately 1 hour for each participant.

Electrical pulp test results

Electrical pulp test values at which patients felt sensitive were recorded.

Time frame: Time frame of electrical pulp test evaluation was aproximately 1 hour for each participant.

Pain during the treatment

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".

Time frame: Pain during the treatment was evaluated for aproximately 1 hour for each participant.
