Knowledge, experience and perception regarding molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) among dentists and dental hygienists in Oslo, Norway
ConclusionAll clinicians were familiar with the diagnosis of MIH and experienced the condition to be a clinical problem. Continuing education on aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of MIH is requested by dental health personnel. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Using self-etch adhesive agents with pit and fissure sealants. In vitro analysis of shear bond strength, adhesive remnant index and enamel etching patterns
ConclusionThe etching pattern was less pronounced in self-etching groups, which showed an equal or superior in vitro performance compared to conventional etching agents. The clinical use of self-etching agents could be recommended before pit and fissure sealants application in new dental protocols. The best in vitro performance was observed when both applied materials, self-etching agent and pit and fissure sealant have 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate in their chemical composition.

Paediatric dentistry undergraduate education across dental schools in the Arabian region: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionVariations were observed in paediatric dentistry education among undergraduate dental programmes in the Arabian region in terms of topics, instruction methods, year of introduction of paediatric dentistry education, and number of clinical sessions offered. This study establishes a framework for future paediatric dentistry curriculum development and/or improvement in the Arabian region. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Eruption pattern of the maxillary canines: features of natural eruption seen in PTG at the late mixed stage —Part I
ConclusionSome overlapping and larger inclination in maxillary canine are features of normal eruption pattern at an earlier stage of canine development and while lateral incisor is incomplete in PTG (8.5 –10.5 years). In addition to the overlapping and inclination, stages of canine and lateral incisor root as well as dental age should be observed radiologically when evaluating erupting maxillary canine in children of this age.

Parental perspectives towards sugar-sweetened beverages and polices: a qualitative study
ConclusionDespite the awareness of the types of SSBs and the general/oral health implications of sugar consumption, misconceptions exist. Although most parents possessed the knowledge and attitude, this did not translate into the practice of reducing sugar consumption in their children. There was no SSB reduction policy that had overwhelming acceptability. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Extraction of first permanent molars severely affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation: a retrospective audit
ConclusionExtraction of severely affected first permanent molars before the eruption of the second molar is a treatment option causing little additional treatment in the majority of cases. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

An update of the aetiological factors involved in molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH): a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionSeveral systemic and genetic and/or epigenetic factors acting synergistically or additively are associated with MIH, revealing a multifactorial aetiology model. Peri- and postnatal aetiological factors are more likely to increase the odds of causing MIH than prenatal factors. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Root canal instrumentation efficacy of non-fused and fused primary molar roots: a micro-computed tomography study
ConclusionNo differences were determined in the cleaning and shaping effectiveness of all systems in non-fused teeth. Uninstrumented areas (>  60%) occurred in both non-fused and fused primary teeth with fewer procedural complications observed after manual instrumentation.

The interaction and interference of preformed metal crowns on magnetic resonance imaging: a scoping review with a systematic methodology
ConclusionNo in vivo studies were identified to establish the hypothetical impact preformed metal crowns would have on the diagnostic quality of an MRI in the head and neck region. Decision making needs to be guided on a case by case basis. Further high-quality clinical studies are required. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

An update of treatment modalities in children and adolescents with teeth affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH): a systematic review
ConclusionThe 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.

Can molar incisor hypomineralization cause dental fear and anxiety or influence the oral health-related quality of life in children and adolescents? —a systematic review
ConclusionChildren and adolescents with diagnosed MIH did not seem to suffer from increased dental fear and anxiety, but indicated an impaired oral health-related quality of life. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)
