“…Three studies used optical measurement including quantitative light fluorescence (QLF) (Restrepo et al 2016) and laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdent) (Bakkal et al 2017;Biondi et al 2017) as the primary outcome measure. As yet, these measurements have not been validated as to whether they accurately measure mineral density in MIH-affected teeth in-vivo, although QLF has been validated in-vitro (Gambetta-Tessini et al 2017). Only one study investigated the mineral content, rather than the appearance of hypomineralised teeth.…”

Purpose To systematically review the treatment modalities for molar-incisor hypomineralisation for children under the age of 18 years. The research question was, ‘What are the treatment options for teeth in children affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation?’ Methods An electronic search of the following electronic databases was completed MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, LILACS, Google Scholar and Open Grey identifying studies from 1980 to 2020. The PRISMA guidelines were followed. The studies were screened, data extracted and calibration was completed by two independent reviewers. Results Of 6220 potential articles, 34 studies were included. Twenty studies investigated management of molars with fissure sealants, glass ionomer cement, polyacid modified resin composite, composite resin, amalgam, preformed metal crowns, laboratory-manufactured crowns and extractions. In four articles management of incisors with microabrasion, resin-infiltration and a combination of approaches was reported. Eight studies looked at strategies to mineralise MIH-affected teeth and/or reduce hypersensitivity. Two studies investigated patient-centred outcomes following treatment. Due to the heterogeneity between the studies, meta-analysis was not performed. Conclusion The use of resin-based fissure sealants, preformed metal crowns, direct composite resin restorations and laboratory-made restorations can be recommended for MIH-affected molars. There is insufficient evidence to support specific approaches for the management of affected incisors. Products containing CPP-ACP may be beneficial for MIH-affected teeth.

“…Quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) is a non-invasive in vitro diagnostic tool that uses the principle of autofluorescence reaction of normal hard tissues with blue light in the visible range of 405 nm. QLF can be used to quantify mineral loss and is useful in assessing bacterial lesions, such as caries, plaque, osteomyelitis, and mucosal necrosis, by quantifying red fluorescence derived from bacterial metabolites such as porphyrin [44,[64][65][66]. In 2018, Singh et al evaluated plaque using fluorescence photographs to compare the effects of two oral hygiene management methods [44].…”

This study aimed to review the oral hygiene status, oral care guidelines, and outcomes of oral care in intensive care unit (ICU) patients from a dental perspective for effective oral care. A literature search using the keywords “Hospital dentistry” OR “Oral care” OR “Intensive care unit” OR “Hospital inpatient” OR “Hospitalization” OR “Emergency service” AND “Oral health” OR “Oral hygiene” OR “Dental plaque” was conducted in PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar to identify publications reporting on the oral care of the patients admitted to ICUs. A total of 17,400 articles were initially identified. Of these, 58 were selected and classified into three categories for critical review. Seven of these studies evaluated the oral status of ICU patients, and most of the studies indicated that ICU patients had poor oral hygiene or required active dental treatment. Thirty-three of these studies evaluated oral care methods for ICU patients, and in general, oral care methods using chlorhexidine as adjuncts along with tooth brushing were recommended. However, there were insufficient studies to evaluate oral hygiene through effective assessment tools from a dental perspective. In 36 studies on the outcomes of oral care in ICU patients, interventions by dental professionals showed effective results in preventing hospital-acquired infection. This review highlights the importance of establishing guidelines for the evaluation of oral status in ICU patients and summarizes data that may be useful for future studies. Further studies on maintaining good oral hygiene among ICU patients are needed.

“…This finding is interesting as no information is available for assessing the risk of PEB on anterior teeth. Besides, although lesion color is currently used for assessing the risk of PEB for molars, 12,25,26 other studies did not confirm this association 20,27 suggesting that other factors should be considered in assessing the severity of the MIH lesion and its likelihood in breaking down. 12,20 The strengths of this study include the use of TL and RL images to map enamel hypomineralized lesions on anterior teeth, which may be of value from an epidemiological perspective.…”

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative developmental defect of enamel affecting a minimum of one first permanent molar, often with involvement of the permanent incisors. 1 Despite MIH having been detected among ancient populations, 2,3 it was first identified in 1987 by Koch and defined in 2001. 1,4 MIH lesions differ considerably from sound enamel. Microscopically, these lesions present disorganized enamel prisms and large inter-prismatic spaces occupied by a protein-rich matrix associated with decreased mineral density, hardness, and fracture resistance. This explains the increased surface porosity and post-eruptive breakdown (PEB) of the enamel surface (especially in severe lesions) and the greater susceptibility to dental caries; and also why affected teeth are often hypersensitive.
