Detailed Description
MIH is a medical global condition characterized by qualitative enamel defect of one to four permanent first molars frequently associated with affected incisors, due to its increasing prevalence that is variable worldwide and its significant adverse effect even the simplest of the daily vital activities like brushing or eating way for our young patients' health besides negative social impact when incisors are also affected the analysis of etiological factors should be carried out.
Worldwide the prevalence of this condition, MIH was found to be from 2.4 to 40%, the reason behind this huge range difference is the use of different indices, diagnostic criteria, variability between examiners, lack of standardized methods of recording lesions and different age groups, while recent studies in Egypt reported 2.3% of MIH in a group of Egyptian children from 8 to 12 years in Cairo. Moreover, 878 million people across the world were MIH-affected and 17.5 million new cases are identified each year according to a study published 02 August 2022 in Egypt.
Despite the worldwide increasing interest in the causes of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), there is still insufficient evidence to verify the aetiological factors of this condition especially stress and anxiety . There is a potential relationship between stress and MIH, as glucocorticoids mainly cortisol have receptors on ameloblasts and so further research and population based studies are urgently required to evaluate the prevalence of MIH and its association with stress.
