About this trial
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Does computer-controlled local anesthesia cause less pain and anxiety than conventional local anesthesia in children with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH)?
Is there a difference between the two methods in anesthesia onset time, injection duration, physiological responses, and the need for additional anesthesia?
Researchers will compare computer-controlled and conventional local anesthesia in children aged 8-12 years with MIH. Each child will receive both anesthesia methods during separate dental visits, on comparable permanent molar teeth, to determine which method is more comfortable, effective, and preferred by children.
