Reviewer 2 Report

First of all I would like to compliment the quality of the writing. The comparison between the options of treatment for the child best benefits and his family is noteworthy. I merely regret the lack of patient behavior description towards the use of intra oral scanner as the clinical case includes an oral sedation which in a way hides the cooperation of the patient. 

I also wished the tooth preparation protocol to be more described (removal of porosities combined with shape preparation for a milled restauration Vs. non milled, immediate dentin sealing considering the high sensitivity of MIH teeth waiting for final restoration despite temporary material)

The paper anyway opens perspective studies in CADCAM restaurations for children and moreover using chairside procedures for faster treatments with regards to patient lack of cooperation.

Thank you very much.
