Summary
Pain is defined by IASP (International Association for the Study of Pain) as "an unpleasant
sensory and emotional experience associated with the damage actual or potential tissue or
described in terms that suggest such harm". Episodes of pain and discomfort experienced by
children are one of the main factors for fear and anxiety in dentistry, especially those that
present the condition of Molar-Incisive Hipomineralization, where we observed increased
levels of anxiety in relation to the treatment. In order to improve the painful sensation
that patients with Molar-Incisor Hipomineralization present as well as anxiety demonstrated
by these patients in face of dental treatment, the objective of present study will be to
evaluate the occurrence and degree of pain after procedures dentists with administration of
pre-emptive analgesia or placebo, in children with Molar-Incisive Hipomineralization. Fifty
patients will be selected in the Pediatric Dentistry courses of the FORP-USP undergraduate
course, aged 6 to 12 years, of both sexes, who present at least 2 (two) upper and / or lower
molars affected by Molar- Incisors that need some kind of restorative treatment, extraction
or endodontic treatment. Also, these patients should present enamel and dentin fractures
caused by MIH, atypical restoration and / or atypical caries, and that present pain above the
moderate degree (6>), after stimulation with air/water jet for 5 seconds.
