Effect of Prevalence and Severity of Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the association between the MIH presence as well as the severity and OHRQoL in children.

Material and methods

Relevant studies were identified in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Google Scholar. Studies involving MIH and OHRQoL in children were included. A methodological quality assessment of included studies was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and its adapted version for cross-sectional studies. Random effects models were used to estimate summary effect measures for the association between MIH presence (presence vs. absence) as well as severity (moderate/severe MIH vs. no MIH) and OHRQoL using generic inverse variance meta-analyses. Tests for heterogeneity, publication bias and sensitiv
