Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation: Severity, caries and hypersensitivity.

Objectives: To investigate distribution of affected teeth and severity of molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) in 8-9-year-old children. A second aim was to study association between severity of MIH and hypersensitivity, caries, and affection of incisors and second primary molars (SPM).

Methods: A total of 3013 children in one age cohort participated in a cross-sectional study, of which 851 children were diagnosed with MIH.

Experiences with transvaginal Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) in sows.

Transvaginal ultrasound-guided Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) is an established technique in other species. Due to several challenges, there are few publications addressing the procedure in sows. An efficient OPU technique may allow for the collection of numerous oocytes from valuable sows for porcine in vitro embryo production, gene editing and cloning programmes, or cryopreservation.

Molar-incisor hypomineralisation in Norwegian children: Prevalence and associated factors.

This study investigated the prevalence and associations of molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) in 8-9 year-old children in Oslo. A total of 3013 children in one age cohort participated in the study during their regular dental examination at the Public Dental Service. Hypomineralised enamel defects were recorded according to the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry criteria for MIH.

Oral and dental late effects in long-term survivors of childhood embryonal brain tumors.

Purpose: To investigate oral and dental late effects in survivors of childhood brain tumors medulloblastoma (MB) and central nervous system supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (CNS-PNET).

Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed oral and dental late effects in MB/CNS-PNET survivors treated before 20 years of age, and with a minimum of 2 years since treatment. Participants went through an oral and radiographic examination.

Long-Term Effects of a Randomized Maternal Education Trial in Rural Uganda: Implications for Child Oral Health.

The aim was to examine oral health among 5-6-year-old children whose mothers participated in a 6 months' cluster-randomized education trial in rural Uganda starting when their children were 6-8 months old. The education focused on nutrition, oral hygiene, and child stimulation. In the current follow-up study, 357/511 (70%) children from the original trial were available for data collection (200 in the intervention and 157 in the control group).
