Abstract:

 Purpose: The primary aim of this study was twofold: first, to assess the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization MIH within a cohort of Egyptian children and, second, to investigate the potential correlation between MIH and various factors, including age, sex, birth complications, and endogamous marriage. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional investigation took place in Egypts Delta region, with approximately 3000 children aged between eight and twelve years being recruited for participation. The European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry EAPD; 2003 criteria served as the diagnostic tool for identifying MIH cases. Upon detection of clinical signs or symptoms indicative of MIH, parents were queried regarding any potential birth complications or endogamous marriages. Lesion severity levels were diagnosed using Mathu-Muju and Wright criteria. Results: The prevalence rate for MIH was found to be 7.2. Molars exhibited higher susceptibility rates than incisors 64.8 vs 35.2, with approximately 37 of participants displaying severe scores, followed by mild 33.8 and moderate 29.2. Male subjects had significantly more occurrences than females, with positive correlations identified between MIH incidence rates alongside each gender category as well as both birth complications and endogamous marriages. Conclusion: Children born from complicated pregnancies or whose parents are related should receive frequent check-ups from pediatric dentists during their first permanent molar eruption period. so that early detection of MIH can be facilitated allowing timely intervention.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın birincil amacı iki yönlüydü: birincisi, bir grup Mısırlı çocuk arasında büyük azı-kesici diş hipomineralizasyonu MIH prevalansını değerlendirmek ve ikincisi, MIH ile yaş, cinsiyet, doğum komplikasyonları ve akraba evliliği gibi çeşitli faktörler arasındaki olası korelasyonu araştırmak. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel araştırma, Mısırın Delta bölgesinde gerçekleştirildi ve sekiz ile on iki yaşları arasında yaklaşık 3000 çocuk katılım için seçildi. MIH vakalarını belirlemek için Avrupa Pediatrik Diş Hekimliği Akademisi EAPD; 2003 kriterleri tanı aracı olarak kullanıldı. MIHı gösteren klinik belirti veya semptomlar tespit edildiğinde, ebeveynlere olası doğum komplikasyonları veya akraba evlilikleri hakkında sorular soruldu. Lezyon şiddet seviyeleri Mathu-Muju ve Wright kriterlerine göre teşhis edildi. Sonuçlar: MIH prevalans oranı 7,2 olarak bulundu. Büyük azı dişlerinde kesici dişlere göre daha yüksek duyarlılık oranları görüldü 64,8e karşı 35,2, katılımcıların yaklaşık 37si ciddi skorlar gösterirken, bunu hafif 33,8 ve orta 29,2 dereceler izledi. Erkek denekler, kadınlara göre anlamlı derecede daha fazla vaka gösterdi ve MIH insidans oranları ile her iki cinsiyet kategorisinin yanı sıra hem doğum komplikasyonları hem de akraba evlilikleri arasında pozitif korelasyonlar tespit edildi. Sonuç: Komplike gebeliklerden doğan veya ebeveynleri akraba olan çocuklar, ilk daimi büyük azı dişlerinin sürme döneminde pediatrik diş hekimleri tarafından sık sık kontrol edilmelidir. Bu şekilde MIHın erken tespiti sağlanarak zamanında müdahale yapılabilir.
