Prognosis of non-vital incisors after apexification using bioceramics: a retrospective study.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of apexification using bioceramics in immature permanent teeth, and to study the factors influencing treatment outcome and frequency of spontaneous cervical root fractures.

Methods: Forty-six children with 51 non-vital permanent incisors treated with a bioceramic apical plug were included. Mean age at pulp necrosis was 9.

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.

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.

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).

Effects of antibiotics on the developing enamel in neonatal mice.

Purpose: Identifying factors causing Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is an ongoing challenge. Preterm infants, routinely treated with antibiotics in cases of suspected sepsis, are more commonly affected by dental developmental defects. This study aimed to investigate the effects of gentamycin and ampicillin on the developing enamel in neonatal CD-1 mice in vivo.
