Injection Molding Technique for Enamel Hypoplasia in Children
This study focuses on treating enamel hypoplasia, a condition where the tooth enamel (the hard outer surface) is underdeveloped, affecting children's front teeth. The study compares two treatments: **injectable giomer restoration** and **injectable composite resin restoration**. Both involve a method called **injection molding** to cover the affected teeth and improve their appearance.
The aim is to see how well these treatments work over two years by checking them every six months. During the procedure, any bad enamel will be removed, and a special process called **etching and bonding** will prepare the tooth for the new covering. The success of the treatments will be measured using the **FDI criteria**, a set of rules to evaluate dental restorations.
Key Points:
- Study lasts for 2 years with check-ups every 6 months.
- Participants must be healthy children with specific dental conditions.
- Parents must agree to participate and sign a consent form.
Note: This study is not for children with additional tooth problems like pulpitis (inflammation of the tooth's inner tissue) or enamel hypomineralization.
