Summary

This multicentre, randomized clinical trial compared digital intraosseous anaesthesia with conventional local anaesthetic techniques in children aged 6-12 years receiving restorative treatment for MIH-affected permanent first molars. Within the maxillary stratum, digital intraosseous anaesthesia was compared with conventional infiltration anaesthesia; within the mandibular stratum, it was compared with inferior alveolar nerve block. The primary outcome was child-reported pain during restorative treatment. Secondary outcomes included pain during needle penetration and anaesthetic solution delivery, observed pain-related behaviour, and change in dental anxiety.

Conditions

  • Molar Incisor Hypomineralization

Interventions

DEVICE

SleeperOne 5 Computer-Controlled Intraosseous Anaesthesia System

Digital intraosseous anaesthesia was administered using the SleeperOne 5 computer-controlled system (Dental Hi Tec, Cholet, France). Initial mucosal anaesthesia was achieved using 0.1-0.2 mL of 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine, followed by intraosseous administration of an additional 1 mL of the same anaesthetic solution at the device-controlled slow flow rate.

PROCEDURE

Conventional Maxillary Infiltration Anaesthesia

Supraperiosteal infiltration anaesthesia was performed using a standard aspirating dental syringe and a 27-gauge short needle. One millilitre of 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine was deposited slowly into the buccal sulcus adjacent to the MIH-affected maxillary permanent first molar.

PROCEDURE

Conventional Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Anaesthesia

Inferior alveolar nerve block anaesthesia was administered using a standard aspirating dental syringe and a 27-gauge long needle. One millilitre of 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine was deposited slowly. Adequate anaesthesia was confirmed by patient-reported lip numbness before restorative treatment was started.
