Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental disturbance that affects first permanent molars and incisors, with prevalence ranges from 3.6 to 25%. In MIH, hypomineralized dental enamel is fragile and can break easily leading exposed dentin and causing dental sensitivity and caries lesions. The etiological factors are frequently associated with childhood diseases during the first three years of life. This study was carried out to determine the pattern and presentation of molar-incisor hypomineralization in Pakistani children visiting Nishtar Institute of Dentistry, Multan. Materials and Methods: A total of 233 consecutive patients ranging in age from 6-11 years presenting with any dental problem in Nishtar Institute of Dentistry and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Detailed examination was done in all the patients to demonstrate the pattern and presentation of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization. Results: Among 233 patients, there were 116/233 (49.8%) males while females were 117/233 (50.2%). Mean age of the patients was 8.51 + 1.59 years. Molar incisor hypomineralization was diagnosed in 35/233 (15.1%) children, whereas no feature of MIH was found in 198/233 (84.9%). White patches were identified in 19/233 (8.15%) while white lines could be observed in 19/233 (8.15%). Brown patches were identified in 21/233 (9.01%). All the three features were altogether present in 11/233 (4.72%) of patients. Conclusion: MIH is a common problem occurring in as many as 15.1% of our children population, predominantly with brown patches.
