My PhD focused on tooth hypersensitivity in children with molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH). This work explored children’s lived experiences and led to the development and psychometric evaluation of the MIH-TH questionnaire, a child-centred, condition-specific patient-reported outcome measure. My ongoing work is examining its use in clinical practice and its translation and validation across different languages and cultural settings.
