Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in Egyptian children and explore its correlation with age, sex, birth complications, and endogamous marriage.
- Approximately 3000 children aged 8-12 were examined using EAPD criteria, revealing a MIH prevalence rate of 7.2%, with molars being more affected than incisors.
- Results indicated higher MIH rates in boys and a significant link between MIH and factors like birth complications and endogamous marriages, emphasizing the need for increased dental check-ups for at-risk children.*
Background: Dental caries is the most prevalent dental disease. The external validity of the available caries risk assessment (CRA) tools is not established, especially among pediatric population.
Objectives: To assess caries risk using the caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA) protocol among Egyptian children aged 3-12 years and suggest variables that could potentially be used to develop a simpler CRA model.
