Summary

To investigate the efficacy of laser therapy associated with fluorotherapy in the desensibitization of hypomineralized teeth in children 8 to 12 years of age. A randomized blinded clinical trial will be conducted. The instruments used will be a questionnaire general, clinical examination, dental air syringe (evaluation of dental sensitivity) and visual analogue scale (evaluation of the magnitude of dental sensitivity). Teeth with hypomineralization molar-incisor (HMI) and the results of sensitivity and magnitude of dental pain before and after the treatments will be recorded in a clinical record. The study groups will be: treatment with laser therapy (Group 1); treatment with fluorotherapy (Group 2) and treatment with laser therapy and fluorotherapy (Group 3).

Conditions

  • Hypomineralization Molar Incisor

Interventions

RADIATION

Laser therapy

The low-power, infrared (808nm wavelength) diode laser with a power of 100mW will be used. The mode of irradiation is punctual, in contact and perpendicular to the dental surface. Three points on the crown of multiradicular teeth (mesial and distal of the cervical region and central part of the tooth lesion) and two points on the crown of unirradicular teeth (central point of the cervical region and central part of the tooth lesion) will be irradiated for 10s per point , 1J per point, with a 72-hour interval between treatment sessions. The distance between the irradiation points will be about 2 mm. The tip of the laser equipment will be positioned perpendicular to the application site.

PROCEDURE

Fluorotherapy

The treatment will be carried out with the application of fluoride varnish, with the aid of a microbrush. After the application, water will be dripped onto the applied varnish in order to promote its drying. Fluorotherapy will be performed once a week, totaling 4 sessions.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Laser therapy and Fluorotherapy

This group will be treated first with the laser (same specifications as Laser therapy), followed by application of fluoride varnish (same specifications as Fluorotherapy).
