Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Pain Relieving: aim to relieve tooth pain with HMI Biosilicate

topical application: the operator will apply a solution to all the free surfaces of the selected teeth using a microapplicator. The solution will either be 10% Biosilicate® solution, fluoride varnish (Duraphat®), or distilled water . All products will be removed from their original containers and placed in identical 10ml plastic bottles, white and standardized. The different products will be applied equally for 15 seconds according to the application protocol.

Study summary

Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative enamel defect caused by systemic hypomineralization that affects one to four first permanent molars, and may or may not involve incisors. The clinical repercussions associated with MIH can be characterized by: painful hypersensitivity, post-eruptive fractures, rapid progression of caries lesions in newly erupted first permanent molars, difficulty in achieving effective anesthesia, aesthetic impairments, and patient fear and anxiety. To date, there is no consensus on the best treatment for sensitivity in teeth with MIH, thus managing sensitivity in these teeth remains a significant challenge. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 10% Biosilicate® solution as a desensitizing agent in MIH teeth in children, compared to Fluoride varnish (Duraphat® Colgate, Brazil). Children aged 6 to 12 years will be selected for this study, with a total of 63 participants diagnosed with MIH, and a sensitivity score ≥2 on the SCASS scale. The children will be randomly divided into two groups (n=21): GI: Duraphat®, GII: Biosilicate®. Interventions will be performed once a week for 4 consecutive weeks, followed by 8 weeks of follow-up. The results will be subjected to statistical tests with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05).

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) — 3 months
  VAS (Visual Analog Scale), a psychometric assessment scale to measure the amount of pain the patient feels, which is reported by the patient himself and can vary from no pain (0) to extreme pain (10).The most simple VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best). In some studies, horizontal scales are orientated from right to left, and many investigators use vertical VAS.
