“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the effect of hypersensitivity treatment of MIH-affected molars on OHRQoL worldwide. Although some authors have already studied the effect of MIH on OHRQoL [11][12][13][14][20][21][22], intervention studies considering the patient's view in terms of treatment of molars are lacking. For the first time, this study shows that treatment of hypersensitive molars with a sealing technique leads to positive changes in the child's quality of life, which is evident by the significant decrease in the overall CPQ scores.…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) before and after treatment of hypersensitive molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) with a sealing. Methods Thirty-eight children with two MIH-affected molars showing hypersensitivity and non-occlusal breakdowns were included. Hypersensitivity was assessed with an evaporative (air) stimulus. Two affected teeth were sealed by two calibrated operators using a split-mouth design: Clinpro Sealant in combination with Scotchbond Universal, and Ketac Universal (3M), respectively. OHRQoL was measured using the German version of the CPQ8–10 (CPQ-G8–10) at baseline, and after 1, 4, 8, and 12 weeks, respectively. Results The CPQ total score decreased significantly from a mean of 14.7 (±5.9) to 6.4 (±4.7) (p < 0.001) 1 week after treatment revealing improved OHRQoL. After 12 weeks, OHRQoL improved again proven by a decreased mean score of 2.7 (±3.2). Conclusions Sealing of hypersensitive MIH-affected molars revealed a significant improvement of OHRQoL immediately and throughout the 12-week follow-up. Clinical relevance Hypersensitivity can be a major complaint in patients with MIH. This is the first study evaluating the effect of sealing on OHRQoL in affected patients.

“…This finding is consistent with previous studies involving children with enamel defects. 7,13,14 Aesthetic concerns, and the impact this has on a child's overall wellbeing, should not be underestimated and should be considered as part of a holistic treatment plan. One patient specifically mentioned how tooth whitening had improved their smile and confidence.…”

Patient-reported outcome measure for children and young people with amelogenesis imperfecta

et al. 2021

Background Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic enamel defect that can affect both the primary and permanent dentition. It has a range of clinical phenotypes, and children and young people often present with challenging oral health needs. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can identify key patient concerns. Methods This was a multi-centre service evaluation across several specialist paediatric dentistry services in the UK. A PROM questionnaire was created with clinician and patient input, through peer review with the national AI Clinical Excellence Network, as well as piloting the PROM with ten children and young people with AI. The final PROM questionnaire was distributed to all patients with AI attending each unit between January and March 2020. Results Sixty children and young people (aged 5-17 years) across four specialist units participated, with 72% reporting that they 'often' or 'sometimes' experienced pain or sensitivity and 76% reporting that they 'often' or 'sometimes' felt unhappy with the way their teeth look. Of the patients who were post-treatment, 81% indicated that they were happy with their teeth, compared to just 41% of patients who were mid-treatment and 33% of patients who were pre-treatment. Conclusion Children and young people with AI experience a range of issues related to their function and psychosocial wellbeing. This simple PROM demonstrates the range of issues this group of patients face, and could be used to monitor an individual's progress to ensure that treatment is planned to address the patient's individual concerns and needs.

“…In 2020, Hasmun, et al [16] published an intervention study; microabrasion, resin infiltration, tooth whitening and composite restoration were performed in anterior teeth (mean of three) of children between 7 and 16 years old, with diagnosis of MIH. 62,1% of patients were treated with a combined technique of microabrasion and resin infiltration.…”
