Brief Summary:
Introduction: Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative defect of enamel development that occurs in the mineralization phase. MIH affects one or more permanent molars and, occasionally, permanent incisors. The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the clinical effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on permanent teeth with MIH through decontamination and sensitivity control. The longevity of the restorations will also be evaluated after the deproteinization procedure. Methods and analysis: Patients 8 to 12 years of age with permanent molars will be randomly allocated to three groups. Group 1: selective chemical-mechanical removal of carious dentinal tissue around the walls of the cavity with Papacárie Duo and a curette followed by the application of aPDT and deproteinization with Papacárie Duo; Group 2: selective removal of carious dentinal tissue around the walls of the cavity with a curette, followed by the application of aPDT and deproteinization with a 5% sodium hypochlorite solution; Group 3: selective removal of carious dentinal tissue using a curette. The selected teeth must have a carious lesion in the dentin and post-eruptive enamel breakdown on one or more surfaces with an indication for clinical restorative treatment. The teeth will subsequently be restored using a mixed technique with resin-modified glass ionomer cement and bulk-fill composite resin. The data will be submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. Associations with age and sex will be tested using either the chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test. Pearson's correlation coefficients will be calculated to determine the strength of correlations between variables. Comparisons of the microbiological results (colony-forming units) will be performed using ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis will be performed to assess the performance of the restorations.
