About

The aim of the following study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a toothpaste with calcium and sodium phosphosilicate in the treatment of demineralization of the dental enamel of molars and incisors in pediatric patients. Patients who agree to participate to the study will use 2 different toothpaste Sensodyne Repair and Protect and Parodontax, which will used with split mouth design. The following indices will be measured: BEWE, Bleeding Index, Gingival Index, Plaque Index, Dental sensitivity test- Schiff, Pain Intensity Index- VAS and PPD.

Full description

Informed consent will be signed by the parents of the patients underage and will be asked the approval for the attendance of the study. To the parents of pediatric patients will be given for free the 2 toothpastes and will be explain the correct procedures for home oral care. The method used in the study is "Split-Mouth" design, in which contralateral teeth with MIH will used for control group. For the study the patients must have at least two demineralizations present on contralateral permanent molars or incisors. The toothpaste used for the study consist in 2 different types: Sensodyne Repair&Protect (used for the Trial group) and Parodontax Complete Protection (used for the control group).

The 2 toothpastes will be applied once a day, before going to sleep after normal oral hygiene, for at least two minutes for 28 days after each meeting. The products must be used in minimal quantities, in pea-size doses, applying it on the tooth with the finger while performing a massage, under the supervision of the parents and then rinsing.

At each meeting will be taken all the indices and the timing is: T0- study begin, T1- after 1 month, T2-after 3 months, T3- after 6 months, T4- after 9 months, T5- after 12 months.
