Abstract

Aim: This study aims to find the prevalence of MIH in children in the city of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, utilising the current standardised guidelines for diagnosis and calibration.

Background: Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) prevalence in paediatric patients has been widely studied. However, most of the available studies have utilised criteria that did not offer consistent diagnostic and calibration tools, which resulted in incomparable results.

Methods: Cross-sectional study. One hundred sixty-two school children aged 7-9 years in the city of Fujairah, UAE have been randomly selected and orally examined for the presence of MIH lesions. This was conducted following Ghanim et al. [2015] guidelines and after calibrating examiners following Ghanim et al. [2017] training manual.

Conclusion: MIH prevalence was high in the city of Fujairah, UAE. More studies utilising the standardised criteria are required for valid comparisons. Further research on the aetiology of MIH is also needed.

富查伊拉，阿拉伯联合酋长国儿童磨牙-门牙低矿化的患病率和严重程度。

目的:本研究旨在利用目前的诊断和校准标准化指南，发现阿拉伯联合酋长国富查伊拉市儿童MIH的患病率。背景:儿童磨牙-切牙低矿化(MIH)患病率已被广泛研究。然而，大多数现有研究使用的标准没有提供一致的诊断和校准工具，这导致了不可比较的结果。方法:横断面研究。在阿联酋富查伊拉市随机选择了162名7-9岁的学龄儿童，并对其进行了口头检查，以确定是否存在MIH病变。这是根据Ghanim等人[2015]的指导方针和根据Ghanim等人[2017]的培训手册校准考官后进行的。结论:阿联酋富查伊拉市MIH患病率较高。需要更多使用标准化标准的研究来进行有效的比较。对MIH的病因学也需要进一步的研究。
