What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effect of anterior veneer treatment on the quality of life related to oral health in children with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), a genetic disorder that causes enamel defects leading to aesthetic, functional, and social challenges. This prospective clinical study focuses on children aged 11 to 14 years who have been clinically and radiographically diagnosed with AI. The study aims to assess how veneer restorations impact self-confidence, social interaction, and overall well-being in these pediatric patients. The study involves applying anterior veneers to children diagnosed with AI and comparing them to children with healthy teeth and gums. Participants' oral health-related quality of life will be measured before treatment and one month after using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14). Additional assessments include self-esteem via the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, psychosocial effects using the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), and aesthetic satisfaction with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Oral hygiene and dental health will be objectively evaluated by recording plaque, gingival, bleeding on probing, and DMFT indices. Participants will undergo evaluations before treatment and at intervals up to six months after receiving veneers, including self-esteem, psychosocial impact, hypersensitivity, oral hygiene, gingival health, bleeding, and caries status. This comprehensive monitoring aims to demonstrate the short-term aesthetic, functional, and psychosocial effects of veneer treatment. The total participation duration includes follow-ups at one, three, and six months to assess these outcomes and the safety of the treatment.
