Summary: This study found a higher frequency of hypomineralized second primary molars (HSPM) in children with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). However, there was no correlation between the severity of MIH and the presence of HSPM. HSPM may serve as a predictor of MIH.

Summary: The study found that exposure to high levels of persistent organic pollutants can cause enamel defects in children. Certain organochlorine pesticides were associated with a reduced risk of dental defects, while the associations between PCBs and PFASs were inconclusive or specific to gender.

Summary: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a disturbance in the enamel of permanent molars and/or incisors. This study investigates the role of DNA methylation in the etiology of MIH and finds no significant difference in global DNA methylation levels between children with MIH and healthy individuals. Additionally, the study identifies associations between DNA methylation levels and prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors.

Summary: There is no standardized protocol available for hypersensitivity treatment in molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) patients in the literature. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of erosion-infiltration treatments with resin in children with strong hypersensitivity and develop a minimally invasive diagnostic-therapeutic pathway for young MIH patients. The treatment using ICON resin significantly improved hypersensitivity in permanent molars with MIH.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence, clinical patterns, and severity of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in Syrian children. A sample of 1138 children aged 8-11 years was recruited for this study. The results showed that the prevalence of MIH in Syrian children was 39.9%, with demarcated opacities being the most prevalent pattern. Spearman rank correlation and Chi-square tests revealed associations between the number of affected teeth and the severity of MIH defects.

Summary: The study showed that resin infiltration can reduce the risk of enamel breakdown in Molar Incisor Hypomineralization-affected teeth, positively influencing the structural integrity maintenance. Factors such as DMFT index, opacity color, cusp involvement, and age were identified as predictors of enamel breakdown.

Summary: The study confirmed the relationship between childhood asthma and enamel defects in teeth, with majority of articles supporting this connection. However, findings on the influence of asthma medication on enamel defects were inconsistent. New well-designed clinical investigations with a prospective design are needed to further strengthen the results.

Summary: This overview analyzed the quality of systematic reviews (SRs) on treatments for molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH). Five SRs were included, with three rated as low quality and high risk of bias and two rated as moderate quality and low risk of bias. The identified treatments for MIH were classified into non-invasive, micro-invasive, invasive, and mixed intervention approaches. However, the evidence supporting the effectiveness of these treatments is limited due to the methodological quality and risk of bias of the SRs.

Summary: This study evaluated the knowledge, perceptions, and clinical experiences of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) among Portuguese dentists. The results showed that most dentists considered MIH to be a public health problem, but had a low level of knowledge on the topic. Pediatric dentists had a higher awareness of MIH diagnosis and treatment, while general dental practitioners and other dental specialties showed lower confidence in managing MIH.

Summary: In recent years, there has been an increase in children diagnosed with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), and conservative treatment has shown a high failure rate. The ICON (R) system, developed by DMG in Germany, can effectively strengthen tooth structure, improve aesthetics, and cure hypersensitivity through resin infiltration. This systematic review examines studies published from 2012 to 2022 that describe the use of the ICON system in the treatment of MIH. Although there are no standardized protocols for the dental treatment of patients with MIH using the ICON system, it has shown potential for successful tooth decalcification infiltration in children with MIH.

Summary: A Spanish Cariology Curriculum Group (SCCG) was established to adapt the European Core Curriculum in Cariology for undergraduate dental students in Spain, with input from various university experts and dental societies. Through online collaboration and face-to-face meetings, a consensus was reached on the contents of the Spanish Curriculum in Cariology for undergraduate dental students, emphasizing learning outcomes and introducing a new domain of competence.

Summary: This study evaluated the influence of viscosity and mixing on the porosity of GICs and investigated the relationship between porosity and microhardness. The results showed that the type of mixing significantly affected porosity when the viscosity of the cement was low, while viscosity had less influence on porosity when it was high. There was no correlation between microhardness and porosity of GICs.

Summary: The study demonstrated that the combination of NIPSA and EMD, with or without BS, is effective in treating isolated, deep non-contained periodontal defects by significantly reducing probing depth and increasing clinical attachment level, while preserving soft tissue. The addition of BS may improve interdental soft tissue gain.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate whether trauma in primary dentition affects the development of permanent dentition, and it was found that trauma can damage the bud of the permanent tooth. Enamel discoloration and hypoplasia were common sequelae in permanent teeth. Therefore, children with trauma in their primary teeth should receive checkups before the eruption of permanent teeth for early diagnosis and treatment.
