| Popis: | (1) Background: This pilot retrospective cohort research study regarded the frequency of the prevalence of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in a population of Silesian children in Poland. The evaluation of the potential environmental etiological factors was performed and the correlation between the environmental factors and MIH was analyzed. (2) Methods: A total of 613 children were randomly enrolled in the pilot study (9.0 years ± 1.9). A survey was carried out with mothers regarding the potential exposure to environmental etiological factors of MIH in their children. The patients’ clinical assessments were carried out in the dental unit. (3) Results: The frequency of prevalence of MIH in the population of Silesian children was established at the level of 6.2% (p < 0.05). MIH symptoms were significantly associated with otitis in early childhood (OR = 2.50), atopic dermatitis (OR = 5.69), and premature delivery before 38 weeks of pregnancy (OR = 2.88). (4) Conclusions: MIH was observed in 6.2% of the population of Silesian children, and there was a relationship between environmental risk factors such as otitis, atopic dermatitis, premature birth, and MIH expression. Therefore, further research is needed to determine the influence of pre-, peri-, postnatal, and prophylactic factors on the frequency and severity of MIH symptoms in children. |
