Orofacial Functions in Individuals With and Without Molar Incisor Hypomineralization

NCT06692257 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 56

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative developmental defect of the enamel with a complex, multifactorial nature and a significant genetic component that predominantly affects the permanent first molars and, occasionally, the permanent incisors. Individuals with MIH may present a compromised stomatognathic system manifested by muscle hyperactivity under postural and dynamic conditions. However, there is a gap in knowledge regarding the specific functional abnormalities experienced by these individuals. The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of orofacial functions, with emphasis on breathing and chewing patterns, in individuals with and without MIH. Assessments were performed using the Nordic Orofacial Test-Screening (NOT-S). Descriptive statistics were conducted, and comparisons were performed using the chi-square test, adopting a 5% significance level.
