“…The selection of schools was through simple random sampling, processed by the BioEstat 5.0 software, according to the listing of students provided by the management of schools and considering a sample previously stipulated by researchers of 300 students, 100 of each school since the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) recommends that for MIH diagnosis in epidemiological studies, at least 100 people should be examined [23].…”

Objective: To measure the prevalence of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), its severity and association with dental caries among public school children from Belém/PA, Brazil. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with children enrolled in three public schools of Belém, which were selected by simple random sampling. MIH diagnosis was carried out according to criteria of the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Results: Among the 260 students that met the inclusion criteria, 56.92% were male and 43.07% female. The average age was 10.22 years. Of these, 8.84% (n = 23) had MIH, but there was no statistically significant difference in this prevalence between sexes (p = 0.6244). The most affected teeth were the upper first permanent molars, followed by lower first permanent molars and upper permanent central incisors. About 43.48% of students had at least one tooth with severe defect in enamel and 30.43% of students with MIH presented dental caries in the affected teeth. Conclusion: Severe MIH was not the most prevalent among schoolchildren, but the relationship with dental caries found demonstrates the importance of knowledge about diagnosis and treatment of enamel defects, which should be part of promotion and prevention actions in oral health due to its epidemiological impact in the demographic change of dental caries.

“…(Weerheijm & Mejare, 2003) Lately, a systematic review showed a wide variation in the prevalence of MIH (2.4 -40.2 %) and stated that the cross comparison of the results of the various studies were difficult because of use of different indices and criteria, examination variability, methods of recording and different age groups. (Jalevik, 2010) Based on this, we performed a nonsystematic hand-searching screening in the PUBMED data base using the terms: EAPD; MIH; limited to: at least 100 subjects and the data of study -after 2003 and the results could be found (Table 3).…”

“…In its initial stage, this enamel has a high degree of brittleness, which can easily break, causing severe discomfort and sensitivity, especially to temperature changes, air and tooth brushing [5].…”

“…[18] In Brazil, studies have shown prevalence from 12.3% [14] to 40% [19]. Different prevalence rates among studies may be due to the different locations in which they were carried out, but it is possible that different diagnostic criteria may also contribute to these different results [5].…”

Objective: To determine the prevalence of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in the permanent dentition and assess the factors associated with these change in schoolchildren of São Luís, Brazil. Material and Methods: Overall, 1179 students aged 7-14 years of both sexes were included, all with permanent first molars and incisors erupted in the oral cavity. Oral clinical examination to assess the prevalence of HMI was held at school, under natural light. In the second stage, to assess factors associated with HMI, a case-control study was conducted, in which cases were children diagnosed with HMI (n = 14) and as controls, the schoolchild's brother (family control, n = 10 ) and another schoolchild in the same age group born in the same locality (community control, n = 14). A semistructured questionnaire was completed by mothers to identify possible factors associated with HMI, such as maternal education, family income, data from pregnancy and child's medical history in the first three years of life. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate odds ratios (Odds Ratio -OR) and their confidence intervals at 95% (CI 95%) to assess crude and adjusted associations for confounders. Results: A prevalence of 2.5% of HMI was estimated. No association was found for the etiologic factors surveyed. Conclusion: The prevalence of HMI was lower than that reported in other cities in Brazil, but similar to data from other countries. At the difficulty and complexity in establishing the etiologic factors of HMI, cohort studies are required to clarify this change.
