Abstract

Background: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is associated with enamel's existing qualitative developmental defects.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the cortical and trabecular mandibular bone morphology in pediatric patients with MIH using fractal analysis (FA) and digital panoramic radiography (DPR) with various radiomorphometric indices.

Design: A total of 75 patients, including 39 in the MIH group (MIHG) and 36 in the control group (CG), underwent clinical and radiographic examination. Three regions of interest (ROIs) were analyzed: ROI1 (mandibular ramus), ROI2 (mandibular angle), and ROI3 (mandibular anterior). Radiomorphometric measurements included mandibular cortical width (MCW), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), and mandibular cortical index (MCI). Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.

Results: The study revealed that the right and left MCW and PMI measurements in the CG were significantly higher compared with the MIHG (p = 0.002, p < 0.001; p = 0.022; p = 0.003). However, fractal dimension (FD) analysis of the trabecular bone structure showed no significant differences between the groups across all ROIs (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: MIH may be associated with bone development due to shared developmental factors, and the assessment of MCW and PMI in DPRs can contribute to a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment approach based on the growth and developmental dynamics of pediatric patients.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide. International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
