“…A very high prevalence of 40.2% was reported in another study conducted among Brazilian children. The range of MIH reported in the Middle East was 2.3-40.7%, with a mean prevalence of 15.1% [44]. In a study conducted among 413 adolescents aged 12 to 18 in a single town in Israel, 21.5% had MIH [45].…”

“…Fever and use of antibiotics were also associated with MIH [5]. Another meta-analysis on studies conducted in Middle Eastern countries also found that pregnancy and early childhood illnesses and factors related to delivery were statically significantly associated with MIH [44]. Although prenatal, perinatal or early life illnesses or events have been associated with MIH, its underlying systemic causes have not been uncovered yet [8].…”

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and deciduous molar hypomineralization (DMH) affect the first permanent molars and second primary molars, respectively, causing a greater dental treatment burden and worse oral health quality of life among affected children. We assessed the prevalence and risk factors of MIH and DMH among 1209 children aged 3–13 years who attended a university dental clinic in Israel in 2019–2020. Clinical examinations were conducted to assess the presence of DMH and MIH. Potential etiological factors of MIH and DMH, including demographics, the mother’s perinatal health, and the child’s medical history during the first three years of life, were retrieved using a questionnaire. To examine the associations between the demographic and clinical variables and the prevalence of MIH and DMH, continuous variables were tested using the Kruskal–Wallis test with Bonferroni corrections. Categorical variables were analyzed by chi-squared test. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to evaluate which of the significant variables found in the univariate analysis could predict a diagnosis of both MIH and DMH. The prevalence of MIH and DMH was 10.3% and 6.0%, respectively. Age ≥5 years, taking medications during pregnancy and severe lesions were associated with a greater risk for a diagnosis of DMH + MIH. Multivariate logistic regression with adjustment for age showed that the severity of hypomineralization was positively and significantly associated with a diagnosis of MIH + DMH with an odds ratio of 4.18 (95% confidence interval 1.26–17.16), p = 0.03. MIH should be diagnosed and monitored in young children to prevent further deterioration. Moreover, a preventive and restorative program for MIH should be established.

“…Although most Saudi Arabian children suffer from oral diseases [ 7 , 14 , 15 ], little is known about the risk factors responsible for their behavior in dental clinics. As a result, current epidemiological information is required regarding the risk factors associated with a child’s dental behavior.…”

One of the most crucial tasks of pediatric dentists is to control children’s negative behaviors. This study aimed to assess dental behavior and the associated risk factors among children aged 4–12. This cross-sectional study recruited healthy, unaffected children aged 4 to 12 years. Parents were interviewed regarding the sociodemographic details and characteristics of their children’s dental visits. Two collaborative dentists examined the children for dental caries (DMFT/DMFT) and behavioral status (Frankl’s behavior rating scale). This study included 439 children: 27.3% exhibited uncooperative behavior, and the mean DMFT/dmft was 8.46 ± 3.530. Uncooperative behavior significantly increased when the dental visit was scheduled as an emergency treatment (p = 0.134; Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR): 1.530) and when there was an elevated DMFT/DMFT ratio (p < 0.001; AOR: 1.308). This study revealed a significant association between children’s uncooperative behavior and their first dental visit, emphasizing the need for tailored strategies to address behavioral challenges when scheduling pediatric dental care. The proactive measures included controlling caries and avoiding emergencies.

“…Etiology for MIH is currently unknown, many factors and conditions may work together and increase the risk of its occurrence as some systemic and genetic factors work synergistically [ 6 ], prenatal or childhood illness is likely to be associated with MIH [ 7 ], Illness and birth complications are risk factors that can be controlled to prevent MIH [ 8 ].…”

Aim This study was undertaken to compare direct composite resin restorations (DCRR) and indirect composite resin restorations (ICRR) for treating permanent first molars affected by MIH in terms of clinical performance. Materials and methods This was a controlled, randomized, clinical split-mouth study. The studied sample consisted of 40 asymptomatic first permanent hypomineralised mandibular molars in 20 children aged between 7–11 years, these cases were divided randomly into two groups: Group 1 (experimental): 20 first permanent mandibular molars were restored with ICRR, and Group 2 (control): 20 first permanent mandibular molars that were restored with DCRR. The cavity was prepared using a diamond bur on a high-speed handpiece, and the prepared cavity was wiped with cotton moistened with sodium hypochlorite. The composite was applied directly with a total-etch bonding system. In the ICRR group, an impression for the prepared cavity was taken using a silicon-based material, and the restoration was adhesive with self-adhesive resin cement. The child’s satisfaction with each of the two application techniques was assessed through the scale FACES. Restorations were evaluated during follow-up periods (3, 6, and 12 months) according to Modified USHPH criteria. Results The clinical success rate was 90% in the ICRR group versus 85% in the DCRR group after 12 months of follow-up without statistically significant differences (P = 0.218). Children were significantly more satisfied (P = 0.0351) with ICRR than DCRR. Conclusions Both DCRR and ICRR can be considered effective restorations with acceptable clinical performance in the restoration of hypomineralised first permanent molars with an advantage of ICRR in terms of child acceptance of the restoration application technique.
