Abstract
Introduction: There is a correlation between molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and hypomineralized second primary molars (HSPM), but this relationship has not been definitively confirmed. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to reevaluate whether children with HSPM are more affected by MIH than non-HSPM children.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library) for literature, published up to December 2022. Two independent reviewers conducted the study search and screening, quality assessment, and data extraction according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The risk-of-bias assessment of all included cohort studies and case-control studies was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and cross-sectional studies were assessed using the Agency for Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) scale. RevMan 5.4 software was used for all data analyses, with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as the effect measures. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted to identify the potential sources of heterogeneity among the studies. Publication bias was tested and corrected by funnel plots and Egger's test. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was performed using TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta software to control for type-1 and type-2 errors.
Results: A total of 12 studies involving 8,944 children were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the non-HSPM group, the HSPM group had an increased likelihood of MIH (OR = 10.90, 95% CI = 4.59-25.89, p < 0.05). All the included studies were of moderate-to-high quality. TSA and sensitivity analyses suggested the robustness of this outcome.
Conclusion: This systematic review demonstrated a certain correlation between HSPM and MIH, suggesting that HSPM can play a predictive role in the occurrence of MIH. Further high-quality, multicenter, and large-sample longitudinal studies are highly recommended.
期刊介绍:
''Caries Research'' publishes epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies in dental caries, erosion and related dental diseases. Some studies build on the considerable advances already made in caries prevention, e.g. through fluoride application. Some aim to improve understanding of the increasingly important problem of dental erosion and the associated tooth wear process. Others monitor the changing pattern of caries in different populations, explore improved methods of diagnosis or evaluate methods of prevention or treatment. The broad coverage of current research has given the journal an international reputation as an indispensable source for both basic scientists and clinicians engaged in understanding, investigating and preventing dental disease.
