Summary

This study aims to examine whether children with Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) are more likely to have problems with the jaw joint and chewing muscles. MIH is a dental condition where the enamel of the first molars and incisors is weaker than normal. The researchers performed clinical examinations and ultrasound imaging to evaluate the thickness and elasticity of the chewing muscles. They also used a questionnaire to check for symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), such as jaw pain, headaches, and joint sounds.

Conditions

  • Molar Incisor Hypomineralization

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography

Non-invasive diagnostic imaging techniques used to assess the stomatognathic system. Ultrasound was performed to measure the thickness of the masseter, temporalis, and sternocleidomastoid muscles, as well as the articular disc of the temporomandibular joint. Shear Wave Elastography was used to evaluate the elasticity (stiffness) of the same muscles and joint structures in kilopascals. All evaluations were conducted at rest, using standardized positioning, and by the same experienced operator.
