Purpose: This case-control study aimed to investigate the association between molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and caries experience in seven- to 11-year-old children.
Methods: Children seen in a pediatric dental clinic in 2011 to 2012 and born in 2002, 2003, or 2004 were considered eligible. Children with decayed, missing, or filled teeth in the permanent dentition (DMF-T) were allocated to the case group, and those with no DMF-T were allocated to the control group. An examiner assessed MIH according to European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry criteria and caries according to World Health Organization criteria. The odds ratio was calculated to evaluate the association between MIH and caries; the chi-square test was used to analyze the association between categorical variables, and the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare means.
Results: The final sample comprised 57 children in the case group and 98 in the control group. The groups were similar in relation to age, gender, and caries experience in the primary dentition. MIH children were 5.89 (95 percent confidence interval equals 2.69 to 12.86; P<0.05) times more likely to have a DMF-T greater than zero.
Conclusions: Children with decayed, missing, or filled permanent teeth are more likely to have MIH.

Background: Caries burden in children disproportionately affects minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Severe early childhood caries requiring general anesthesia (GA) is a significant concern, with high caries relapse rates in subsequent years.
Aim: To examine associations between parental psychosocial factors, children's caries burden, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), including group differences, following a phone-based parental support intervention for children treated under GA for severe Early Childhood Caries (ECC).
Background: Dental caries remains the most prevalent chronic disease worldwide. Hence the importance of detecting and evaluating caries and combining this with additional diagnostic methods to ensure the best treatment. The main objective was to study what is the sensitivity and specificity for detecting initial and cavitated caries lesions by students in third, fourth and fifth year of the Degree in Dentistry at the University of Barcelona, analysing if there is any difference between the diagnoses and treatments among the different years and each student's clinical experience.
