Impact of masking hypomineralization opacities in anterior teeth on the esthetic perception of children and parents: A randomized controlled clinical trial

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of treating demarcated opacities in anterior teeth on the esthetic perception of children and their parents. Additionally, the masking effect was evaluated quantitively and qualitatively. Methods: Thirty-nine patients, 8–18 years-old, pres...

Description
Summary:Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of treating demarcated opacities in anterior teeth on the esthetic perception of children and their parents. Additionally, the masking effect was evaluated quantitively and qualitatively. Methods: Thirty-nine patients, 8–18 years-old, presenting white-creamy opacity in permanent incisors were randomly allocated to test or control group. Test received resin infiltration and control received a placebo. The questionnaire Child's and Parent's Questionnaire about Teeth Appearance was used. The masking effect was quantitatively analyzed using the Lab System to calculate the color difference (ΔE) between the opacity and the surrounding enamel in Photoshop. Fisher's, Chi-square, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney tests and Spearman's correlation were applied to data analysis. Results: In the test group, a significant impact on physical and psychological domains in parents' and in social domain in parents’ and children's perception was observed (p
