Molar incisor hypomineralization and oral health-related quality of life: a sample of 8 –12-years-old children

ConclusionsAmong the children with MIH, the OHRQoL was found to be negatively affected. The teeth with the MIH tend to reveal more tooth sensitivity than healthy teeth. Many conditions such as having MIH, and tooth sensitivity might have an impact on the OHRQoL. In addition, more sensitivity to the stimulus was observed in the teeth with lower tooth maturity status; the dental age and dental maturity might have effects on tooth sensitivity.Clinical relevanceConsidering the negative impacts due to MIH, the evaluation of OHRQoL is critical for dentists to employ a well-defined guide in their clinical decisions.
