Impact of molar incisor hypomineralization on oral health-related quality of life in 8-10-year-old children.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to compare oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children with and without molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and to assess the impact of severity of MIH on OHRQoL in children between 8-10 years using the German version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ-G8-10).

Materials and methods

Children aged 8-10 years were recruited at a pediatric dental clinic in Hannover, Germany. Half of them were affected by MIH. Participants were evaluated for presence and severity of MIH (MIH-TNI), plaque and dental caries status. Children were asked to answer the CPQ-G8-10. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism-software version 8.

Results

One hundred eighty-eight children (mean age 8.80 [± 0.84]; 43.10% female)
