Abstract

Recent researchs indicates that molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is more and more popular in dental condition worldwide. It can lead to serious consequences and cause tooth loss if not detected and treated in time. There are 5294 pupils in several provinces of Vietnam such as Binh Dinh, Thanh Hoa and Hai Phong participated in our research. This study aims to determine the prevalence of the disease in the locality and relation between the MIH and primary teeth traumatisme, early primary tooth loss to build suitable prevention and treatment plans. Results: the rate of general MIH of the pupils was 20.1%, mild MIH accounted for 15.2% of the study subjects and the rate of severe MIH was 4.9%. The prevalence of MIH in the molars and incisors was 10.6% and 11.4%, respectively. Pupils with a history of primary teeth trauma and primary teeth loss had the risk of MIH 1.12 times and 1.26 times higher, respectively. Conclusion: The incidence of MIH is high, there is a difference in the rate of disease between ages and tooth position.
