Stimulated Salivary Flow Rate, Salivary pH, Viscosity, and Salivary Buffer Capacity and Their Relationship With Molar Incisor Hypomineralization in Mexican Schoolchildren

Key Points

• To investigate the association between stimulated salivary characteristics and the presence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in children.
• Evaluated salivary flow rate, pH, viscosity, and buffer capacity in schoolchildren.
• Compared these salivary properties to the presence of MIH.
• Proposed remineralizing strategies based on findings.
• Significant relationships were identified between salivary characteristics and MIH.
• Children with MIH displayed altered salivary flow and pH levels.
• Remineralizing agents are suggested to improve salivary health and dental health.
