RESUMO
This scoping review aims to summarize the available evidence on strategies employed in preventing caries in patients with molar incisor hypo-mineralization (MIH). MIH refers to an enamel defect involving opacities, and sometimes post-eruptive degradation due to enamel porosity; resulting in outcomes ranging from a mild atypical caries to severe coronary destruction. A systematic review was conducted for literature in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Epistemonikos and Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud (LILACS). The search was aimed at studies published between January 2010 and February 2022. Data were independently selected and extracted. 989 studies were found from the systematic search and 8 studies met the eligibility criteria. Most studies evaluated remineralization and cariogenic risk, both of which are crucial elements in caries prevention, as well as decreased sensitivity. The included studies investigated fluoride varnish, dental sealants, giomers, casein, and Icon as preventative methods for dental caries. Several methods for preventing dental caries in paediatric patients with MIH exist, but more research is needed to determine their effectiveness and safety. Any preventive intervention should consider the etiological aspects of the disease, the risk of caries, the type and extent of lesions, hypersensitivity level and patient's age. Collaboration between patients and carers is critical for disease diagnosis and caries prevention.

This study aimed to analyze the association of sociodemographic, child health, healthcare service, and access indicators with developmental defects of enamel (DDE) acquired outside the uterus, based on gestational factors. A cohort of births was carried out, and 982 children aged 12 to 30 months were examined. A total of 1,500 women were followed up as of the 5th month of gestation, and the child's gestational age was evaluated at follow-up. The clinical examination was performed as recommended by the World Health Organization, and defects were classified using the modified DDE index. Six models were considered: presence of DDE (Model 1) or opacities (Model 4), number of teeth with DDE (Model 2) or opacities (Model 5), and incidence rate of DDE (Model 3) or opacities (Model 6). Associations were estimated by relative risk (RR) in Poisson regression models. In the adjusted analysis, the mother's lowest education level was associated with the highest occurrence of DDE in Models 1 (RR = 26.43; p = 0.002), 2 (RR = 9.70; p = 0.009), and 3 (RR = 5.63; p = 0.047). Breastfeeding for over 12 months (RR = 0.45; p = 0.030) and recent use of anti-infection drugs (RR = 0.20; p = 0.039) had a protective effect on DDE (Model 1). The factors associated with the highest incidence of opacities were not having health insurance (RR = 2.00; p = 0.043) (Model 5), and belonging to a family of poor social class (RR = 4.67; p = 0.007) (Model 6). Children in a situation of socioeconomic vulnerability have a higher risk of presenting extrauterine DDE. Breastfeeding was a protection factor for DDE development.

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the risk of posteruptive breakdown and the development of caries lesions in teeth with molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH). A total of 367 permanent incisors and first molars, affected and not affected by MIH lesions, of 45 children with MIH from Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil, were evaluated at intervals from 6 to 12 months by assessing the severity of MIH, the presence of tooth caries lesions and the treatment needed. During the study period, all patients received preventive care. The data were analysed using Fisher's exact test and actuarial method survival analysis. Significant associations were also found in teeth between the presence of MIH and a DMFT index >0 in all periods and also between the need for treatment and the presence of MIH. The teeth affected by MIH opacities were healthy in 99% of incisors and 93% of molars at the end of the 12-month period. Due to the high likelihood of maintaining the tooth structure in opacities, the complete or premature removal of the affected area is not justified.

The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) among children with different health care coverage in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. An observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study was designed, considering children born from 1993-2003 who were seen in the Chairs of Comprehensive Children's Dentistry (Universidad de Buenos Aires) and of Pediatric Dentistry (Universidad de la República) and at five private dental offices between April and December 2010. Two groups were defined: A (Buenos Aires; n=1,090) and B (Montevideo; n=626). The clinical diagnosis was carried out with calibrated examiners (Kappa: 0.94) using the Mathu-Muju and Wright criteria. The prevalence of MIH was found to be 16.1% in A and 12.3% in B (p=0.03), with statistically significant differences between the public and private care sectors in both groups (A p=0.0008; B p=0.0004) and a positive correlation between MIH and year of birth (A p=0.001; B p=0.005). The results show that MIH is an emerging pathology and that MIH prevalence is related to year of birth and access to health care.

El objetivo fue comparar la frecuencia de la hipomineralización molar incisiva (HMI) entre niños con diferente cobertura de salud en Buenos Aires y Montevideo. Se diseñó un estudio transversal, observacional y descriptivo con los nacidos entre 1993-2003, asististidos en las Cátedras de Odontología Integral Niños (Universidad de Buenos Aires) y de Odontopediatría (Universidad de la República) y en cinco clínicas privadas, entre abril y diciembre 2010. Se conformaron dos grupos: A (Buenos Aires; n=1.090) y B (Montevideo; n=626). El diagnóstico clínico fue realizado por examinadores calibrados (Kappa: 0,94) con los criterios de Mathu-Muju y Wright. Los resultados mostraron una prevalencia de HMI en A del 16,1% y en B del 12,3% (p=0,03), con diferencias significativas entre los sectores público y privado en ambos grupos (A p=0,0008; B p=0,0004) y una correlación positiva entre la HMI y el año de nacimiento (A p=0,001; B p=0,005) Los resultados permiten concluir que la HMI es una patología emergente y su prevalencia se relaciona al año de nacimiento y al acceso al cuidado de salud.

El estudio se realizó en 260 niños de ambos sexos, nacidos entre los años 1995 y 1998, en el Hospital departamental de Apoyo del Ministerio de Salud de Ica. De los cuales, 130 niños eran desnutridos fetales y los 130 restantes con crecimiento y desarrollo fetal normal. Se evalua la relación entre el antecedente de desnutrición fetal y los trastornos del desarrollo dentario. Los niños con antecedentes de desnutrición fetal se seleccionaron al azar y los niños sin antecedentes de desnutrición fetal fueron apareados por: edad, sexo y distritos. En ambos casos se localizaron los domicilios, luego se realizaron los exámenes clínicos a los niños y las entrevistas a las madres de familia. Los hallazgos obtenidos fueron los siguientes: El 40 por ciento de niños con antecedentes de desnutrición fetal (A.D.F.) y el 6.2 por ciento sin A. D. F. presentaron hipoplasia del esmalte (RP=6.58 L. C. 4.47 8.68, P5.41x2 = 7.38, P <0.006). En resumen, los niños con antecedente de desnutrición fetal presentaron una mayor prevalencia de hipoplasia del esmalte, hipomineralización y erupción retardada, que los niños del grupo control.
