MIH and Hypersensitivity in Children

About This Study

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the association of casein phosphopeptide plus amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACPF) mousse and photo-bio-modulation therapy (PMBT) (diode laser, RAFFAELLO 980 BIO - Dental Medical Technologies - DMT S.r.l.) in the treatment of dental hypersensitivity (DH) in children with Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) . Children aged 6-14 years with hypersensitive teeth were randomized into 3 groups. Group A received the application of CPP-ACPF mousse (GC MI Paste®) and sham light therapy; group B got the application of placebo mousse (Elmex Junior®) and PMBT; group C received both CPP-ACPF mousse and PMBT.
