Overview

Cross-sectional study reports 12% MIH prevalence in children, suggesting socioeconomic and health factors influence risk.

Key Points

  • Molar incisor hypomineralization affects 12% of children aged 6-12, indicating its significant prevalence.
  • Of those with MIH, 76% exhibited severe defects while 24% had mild opacities, demonstrating severity variation.
  • Risk factors identified include socioeconomic status, maternal employment, and respiratory infections, showing complex links.
  • Long breastfeeding duration was associated with lower MIH rates, suggesting it might have a protective role.
