“…This is in accordance with other studies [10,16]. Kirthiga et al in their study found that the mean DMFT value in respondents affected with MIH was 3.2, which was significantly higher than the mean DMFT value of controls (0.8) [17].…”

IntroductionThe aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) and caries in school children from Banja Luka region, Republic of Srpska. Materials and methods One calibrated dentist evaluated a sample of 529 schoolchildren, eight years old, according to the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) criteria on MIH presence. Dental caries was assessed using the DMFT (Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth) criteria. Results DMFT/dmft was significantly higher in children with MIH than without MIH (p < 0.001). In the MIH group of children, high values of caries indices (%DMFT/%dmft and mean DMFT/dmft) were found. Conclusion Significant association between MIH and dental caries in eight-year-olds was found.

“…Ovakav rezultat je u skladu s nalazima drugih istraživanja [10,16]. Istraživanje Kirthige i saradnika u Indiji, 2015. godine, ustanovilo je KIP 3,2 kod dece sa MIH-om, što je znatno više od KIP vrednosti u kontrolnoj grupi (0,8) [17].…”

“…In spite of the fact that the variations witnessed in regards the susceptibility of upper and lower permanent molars to MIH has been highlighted in the current study, with a greater degree of prevalence identified in the case of upper permanent molars than lower permanent molars, this has not been proven with certainty. Nonetheless, other studies display similar findings 22,23,37 . Other works have highlighted that there is a greater prevalence witnessed across mandibular molars in their sample populations 29,33,36 ,with a number of elements potentially influencing this finding, including the sitting position of the individual whilst being examined, lighting conditions, and the criteria adopted, to name a few.…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To evaluate molar-incisor-hypomineralization (MIH) prevalence, clinical characteristics, and severity amongst school children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Subjects and Methods: Randomly selected, healthy third-and fourth-grade students (aged 8-10 years) attending elementary schools in Riyadh, and children of the same age attending dental clinics at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University, were examined for the presence of MIH, its clinical characteristics, and severity. Results: The sample studied consisted of 924 children, 447 (48.4%) of whom were boys. There were 376 children, (199 females and 177 males), with at least 2 index teeth affected (prevalence = 40.7%). A total of 133 (35.4%) had only molar hypomineralization (MH), whereas 243 (64.6%) had molars and incisors involved (MIH). The mean number of affected teeth per child was 6.6 ±3.6 (3.3 for molars and 3.2 for incisors). The chi-Square test showed no association between the distribution of hypomineralization and age (P = 0.115). Children with severe hypomineralization predominated across all age groups, with the 10-year-old group having more severely affected children (71.9%) compared to 8-and 9-year-old groups (P = 0.000). Proportional t-test showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) between males and females in the occurrence of MH or MIH, and in the severity of the hypomineralization. Upper molars were more affected than lower molars, whilst upper incisors were more affected than lower incisors. Conclusion: Enamel hypomineralization is a common feature in the dentition of 8-10-year-old children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There is no association with age and no gender predilection.

“…Presence of hypo-mineralization and caries in the same tooth might affect the proper diagnosis of enamel breakdown whether it is actually due to caries or hypo-mineralization or a combination of both. Similar to other studies (Cho et al, 2008;Kirthiga et al, 2015), in the present study, PFM with caries, post-eruption enamel breakdown or restoration was recorded as MIH if demarcated enamel opacities remained at the borders or on the other surfaces. This might explain the large number of PFMs with post-eruptive enamel break down observed in the present study.…”

Aims. To evaluate the prevalence of and describe molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in a group of female children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods. The sample consisted of 8-10-year-old (n=682) female student"s attending female elementary schools and females of the same age attending pediatric dentistry clinics at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh. Subject"s permanent first molars (PFMs) and incisors were examined for demarcated opacities, post-eruptive enamel breakdown, atypical restorations and extraction due to MIH. Results. 277 children were affected by hypomineralization giving a prevalence rate of 40.6%. The mean affected teeth was 6.5±3.18 (3.8 molars and 2.7 incisors) per child. 46.9% had only molars hypo-mineralization (MH), while 53.1% had molars and incisors affected (MIH). Proportional t-test showed no statistically significant difference between the number of affected upper and lower molars, while upper incisors are affected more than lower incisors. Moderate/severe hypo-mineralization predominated in both MIH and MH with MIH children having more moderate/severely affected teeth. MIH prevalence has no association with the age, but ten-year-old have more moderate/severely affected teeth (P=0.041) than eight and nineyear-old children. Conclusion. The observed prevalence of MIH in Riyadh female children was high. Carefully planned short and longterm preventive and therapeutic programs and nationwide larger scale epidemiological studies are needed.

Abstract: The prevalence of MIH in the permanent dentition of south Indian children was 8.9%. There is a need for a proper planned preventive and restorative program with regard to the increasing prevalence of MIH.
