Two mechanisms are required for the occurrence of DH: 1) the dentin must be exposed and 2) the dentinal tubules must be open and connected to the pulp. Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative abnormality of a genetic origin that affects tooth enamel and, in most cases, is accompanied by DH. The control of tooth sensitivity is fundamental to the successful treatment of MIH.\n\nObjective: The aim of the proposed randomized, controlled, clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of different protocols for the control of DH in patients with teeth affected by MIH.\n\nMethods: One hundred forty patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be allocated to four groups. Group 1 will be the control group (placebo). In Group 2, sensitive teeth will be sealed with Permaseal (Ultradent). In Group 3, sensitive teeth will receive low-level laser (LLL) (AsGaAl) at a wavelength of 780 nm (Laser XT Therapy, DMC, São Carlos, SP, Brazil). In Group 4, sensitive teeth will be treated with both LLL and Permaseal (Ultradent). DH will be evaluated 15 min after the application of the treatments and the patients will be reevaluated one week, one month, three months and six months after the treatments.\n\nDiscussion: This study will enable the determination of differences in the effectiveness of the proposed treatments as well as differences among the evaluation times for each proposed treatment.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '35 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age between 18 and 35 years;\n* Good overall health;\n* At least one tooth with MIH and DH reported in the cervical region with sensitivity equal to or greater than 4 on the VAS.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Active caries or defective restorations on the tooth to be analyzed;\n* Sufficient dentin loss that requires restorative treatment or periodontal surgery;\n* Having undergone any professional desensitizing treatment in the previous six months;\n* Having used a desensitizing paste in the previous three months;\n* Use of anti-inflammatory drugs or analgesics at the time of recruitment;\n* Currently pregnant or nursing.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04407702', 'briefTitle': 'Control of Pain Due to Dentin Hypersensitivity in Individuals With Molar-incisor Hypomineralization', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Nove de Julho'}, 'officialTitle': 'Control of Pain Due to Dentin Hypersensitivity in Individuals With Molar-incisor Hypomineralization: Study Protocol for a Randomized, Controlled, Clinical Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Hypersensitivity'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Control Group', 'description': 'The volunteers in this group will receive the same hygiene instructions as the other groups and will undergo both treatments, except that water will be used instead of the sealant and the laser device will be set to a power of 0 W.
