Changes in OHRQoL One Week After Treatment of Hypersensitive MIH-molars
Objectives: To investigate the changes in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) before, and after treatment of hypersensitive molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH).
Methods: 13 children with at least two MIH affected molars showing hypersensitivity and non-occlusal breakdowns were included. Hypersensitivity was assessed with an evaporative (air) stimulus. Affected teeth were sealed by one calibrated operator using a split-mouth design: Clinpro Sealant in combination with Scotchbond Universal, and Ketac Universal (3 M), respectively. OHRQoL was measured using the German version of the CPQ8-10 at baseline, and after one week.
Results: Mean values (± SD) for the CPQ sum as well as the four subdomains before and one week after treatment are shown in Table 1. After treatment a significant decrease (p < 0.001, t-test) was observed in the overall CPQ sums and all subdomains except the social well-being domain.
Conclusions: In conclusion, sealing of hypersensitive MIH-affected molars revealed a significant improvement of OHRQoL after one week.
