OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and its relationship with systemic conditions in a group of Iranian children. METHODS The study population comprised of 433 7-9 year olds, from four schools in Zahedan, Iran. Subjects were evaluated clinically by one examiner, and at a separate session, their mothers completed a coded m...

Background and Aim: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is known as a developmental defect in enamel structure and shape seen in one to four permanent first molar teeth, usually affecting incisors. MIH can also influence children’s self-confidence and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), as an index to assess the effect of oral and orofacial diseases on individuals’ health status, m...

Aim: purpose study was to investigate pathology during transition stage between primary dentition.

The current study was designed determine prevalence, pattern distribution MIH in school children Sudan. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional involving 568 children, aged 8–11 years from school...

REVIEW Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) is defined as a hypomineralisation of systemic origin of one to four permanent first molars frequently associated with affected incisors. MIH molars are fragile and caries can develop very easily in those molars. Although MIH molars are well known by paediatric dentists and their occurrence is related in severe cases to major clinical problems, only...

OBJECTIVE To compare oral health parameters: decayed missing filled teeth (dmft, DMFT), gingival index and plaque index in high-caries-risk children and children with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A study group of 81 children affected by MIH (49 girls, 32 boys) aged 8-11 years (mean 9.4 ± 1.1) was race-, age- and sex-matched with 81 high-caries-risk children not...

The prevalence of dental caries has been reduced over the years due to increased access of fluorides, such as fluoride tooth paste, to dental services and to oral health education on the great part of the population. However, a significant portion of the same population still remains undertreated and show dental cavities as after-effects of this oral disease. In spite of dental caries is strong...
