Article Synopsis
- Oral mucosal pathologies are prevalent diseases that significantly impact quality of life and are often poorly treated, highlighting a critical need for more research and understanding.
- The immune system plays a crucial role in the development and management of these pathologies, making it essential to study its mechanisms for better treatment and prevention.
- Recent advancements in multiomic and single-cell technologies are providing valuable insights into the biological processes behind these diseases, which could lead to improved diagnostics and targeted therapies.
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) in 7- to 9-year-old (±1 year) schoolchildren living in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and to find a possible association with caries, fluorosis and socioeconomic status.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a representative sample of 779 children with an age of 7 to 9 years ±1 year in primary schools in Dubai were randomly selected and examined by one investigator who had previously been trained and calibrated with the diagnostic criteria of European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) for MIH, caries diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO) and Dean's criteria for fluorosis.
Results: The prevalence of MIH in Dubai was 7.
