Abstract

Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence and etiology of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in 8- to 16-year-old children from town (Baddi) of Himachal Pradesh.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 2000 children from various schools of Baddi. Molar-incisor hypomineralization was diagnosed on the basis of EAPD 2003 criteria revised in 2009.

Results: Prevalence of MIH found was to be 2.9%. Demarcated opacities were predominant among all the defects. Postnatal illnesses were highly associated with MIH. The prevalence of dental caries reported in MIH patients was 82.7%.

Conclusion: Postnatal illnesses are significantly associated with MIH. Molar-incisor hypomineralization predisposes the tooth to dental caries.
