Abstract

Objective

This randomized clinical trial evaluated the survival of direct restorations on first permanent molars (FPMs) with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and its impact on self-reported dental pain and dental anxiety.

Material and method

FPMs with MIH of 35 patients aged 7 to 16 years were included. The FPMs were randomized into the following two groups: total-etch (TE—37% phosphoric acid etching) and self-etch (SE—no prior etching). The FPMs were restored with universal adhesive and bulk-fill resin composites. The restoration survival was evaluated according to USPHS criteria modified by a blinded examiner. Dental anxiety (Venham picture test) and dental pain (Faces pain scale—revised) were evaluated before treatment and at 1, 6, and 12 months post-treatment. Survival rates were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. Nonparametric tests compared pain and anxiety in the follow-up periods.

Results

A total of 64 FPMs were restored (TE = 33; SE = 31). Survival rates were 96.9% (TE) and 96.7% (SE) after 1 month, 90.5% (TE) and 80.6% (SE) after 6 months, and 80.8% (TE) and 62.3% (SE) after 12 months (p > 0.05). Self-reported dental pain and anxiety level decreased after treatment in both groups (p < 0.05). Self-reported pain decreased after 1 month in SE, but it occurred at 6 months in TE.

Conclusion

Both restorative protocols presented similar longevity, decreasing self-reported pain and anxiety levels.

Clinical relevance

A universal adhesive could be appropriate for restoration of MIH-affected teeth, and the survival of restorations could be higher in the total-etch technique, reducing dental pain and anxiety.
