Enamel opacities in all other than Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation index teeth of adolescents

Background There are scarce data on the hypomineralisation of other permanent teeth (HOPT) than the index teeth of Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH). Aim To report on the prevalence and surface pattern of HOPT and seek associations with MIH. Design Representative samples of urban Greek 14‐year‐...

Description
Summary:Background There are scarce data on the hypomineralisation of other permanent teeth (HOPT) than the index teeth of Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH). Aim To report on the prevalence and surface pattern of HOPT and seek associations with MIH. Design Representative samples of urban Greek 14‐year‐olds were examined in classroom with a dental mirror. Their enamel defects were recorded using EAPD criteria for MIH. Descriptive statistics and correlation tests for HOPT vs previously reported MIH findings in the same samples were applied. Results HOPT prevalence in 1156 consented adolescents was 22.9%. 148 (16.2%) of 912 no‐MIH children had HOPT; 117 (48.1%) of the 244 MIH children had HOPT too (OR 3.0, 95% CI 2.4‐3.6). There were more HOPT teeth per child in the MIH vs no‐MIH children (P
