PREVALENCE OF MOLAR-INCISOR HYPOMINERALIZATION AND POSSIBLE ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS IN CHILDREN AGED 8-11 YEARS IN THUAN AN CITY, BINH DUONG PROVINCE 2024
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and associated factors with medical history among children aged 8-11. Methods and Subjects: Cross-sectional description. Results: A total of 294 study subjects included 73 children with MIH: 59 individuals with mild MIH (19.18%), and 14 individuals with severe MIH (5.65%). The number of children with MIH affecting molars was 52 (15.3%), while those with MIH affecting incisors was 64 (21.8%). Among them, 34 children had mild MIH affecting molars (65.4%), and 18 children had severe MIH (34.6%); 49 children had mild MIH affecting incisors (76.5%), and 15 children had severe MIH (23.5%). The prevalence of MIH associated with gastrointestinal diseases was 21.1%, respiratory diseases were 14.6%, and a family history of MIH was found in 61.9% of cases. Conclusion: The prevalence of MIH in wards of Thuan An city, Binh Duong province, is relatively high. Children with medical histories of gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, as well as those with a family history of MIH, are at higher risk of developing MIH. The prevalence of mild MIH is higher than severe MIH, and it is more prevalent in boys than girls.
