AI Article Synopsis
- Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) causes dental hypersensitivity and makes pain management challenging.
- This study examined the impact of preemptive analgesia using ibuprofen in children with severe MIH during dental restoration.
- Results indicated that preemptive analgesia improved the effectiveness of anesthesia and reduced discomfort, highlighting its importance for managing MIH in young patients.
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is often accompanied by dental hypersensitivity and difficulty in achieving effective analgesia.
Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of preemptive analgesia in children with severe MIH, post-eruptive enamel breakdown, and hypersensitivity.
Methodology: Ibuprofen (10 mg/kg child weight) or placebo was administered, followed by infiltrative anesthesia and restoration with resin composite. Hypersensitivity was evaluated in five moments. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test.
Results: Preemptive analgesia provided benefits for the treatment of severe cases of MIH, with an increase in the effectiveness of infiltrative anesthesia and improved patient comfort during the restorative procedure.
Conclusion: Preemptive analgesia has shown efficacy in reducing hypersensitivity during restorative dental procedures, evidencing the significance of this study for patients with MIH and hypersensitivity.
