Abstract

Background/objectives: Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a prevalent multifactorial developmental dental defect with unclear etiology. This study aimed to identify potential risk factors for MIH among primary school children in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A cross-sectional study including children aged 7 to 10 years old, recruited from twelve randomly selected schools located in three regions of Jeddah city, was carried out. The children were examined for MIH and dental caries using the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Criteria (2003) and the DMFT/dmft WHO index. Parents were asked to provide medical and socio-demographic information on their children from their first two years of life.

Results: A total of 2010 children were examined, with 888 parents responding to the survey (a 44.2% response rate). Lower maternal education was found to be significantly associated with a decreased adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of MIH (Model 1: p = 0.014, AOR = 0.646, and 95% CI = 0.456 to 0.915; Model 2: p = 0.019, AOR = 0.658, and 95% CI = 0.465 to 0.933). Being an only child, a child's birth order, type of delivery, breastfeeding, and medical conditions were not associated with MIH.

Conclusions: The significant association between MIH and maternal education suggests that further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and identify other potential confounding variables.

吉达小学生臼齿门牙矿化不足及相关风险因素：一项横断面研究。

背景/目的：臼齿切牙低矿化（MIH）是一种普遍存在的多因素牙齿发育缺陷，病因不明。本研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯吉达市小学生臼齿切牙低矿化的潜在风险因素：这项横断面研究从吉达市三个地区随机抽取的 12 所学校中招募了 7 至 10 岁的儿童。采用欧洲儿童牙科学会标准（2003 年）和 DMFT/dmft WHO 指数对儿童进行了 MIH 和龋齿检查。要求家长提供孩子出生后头两年的医疗和社会人口信息：共有 2010 名儿童接受了检查，888 名家长回复了调查（回复率为 44.2%）。研究发现，母亲受教育程度越低，MIH 的调整赔率（AOR）越低（模型 1：p = 0.014，AOR = 0.646，95% CI = 0.456 至 0.915；模型 2：p = 0.019，AOR = 0.658，95% CI = 0.465 至 0.933）。独生子女、孩子的出生顺序、分娩类型、母乳喂养和医疗条件与 MIH 无关：MIH与孕产妇教育之间的重大关联表明，需要进一步研究以探索其潜在机制并确定其他潜在的混杂变量。

期刊介绍： Children is an international, open access journal dedicated to a streamlined, yet scientifically rigorous, dissemination of peer-reviewed science related to childhood health and disease in developed and developing countries. The publication focuses on sharing clinical, epidemiological and translational science relevant to children’s health. Moreover, the primary goals of the publication are to highlight under‑represented pediatric disciplines, to emphasize interdisciplinary research and to disseminate advances in knowledge in global child health. In addition to original research, the journal publishes expert editorials and commentaries, clinical case reports, and insightful communications reflecting the latest developments in pediatric medicine. By publishing meritorious articles as soon as the editorial review process is completed, rather than at predefined intervals, Children also permits rapid open access sharing of new information, allowing us to reach the broadest audience in the most expedient fashion.
