Summary

This study aims to evaluate right-left chewing balance and masticatory function in children with Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) before and after restorative treatment. MIH is a developmental enamel defect that may cause tooth sensitivity, discomfort during chewing, and functional asymmetry.

Children aged 7 to 12 years with bilateral MIH affecting the first permanent molars will receive glass hybrid restorative treatment. Right-left occlusal force distribution will be assessed using a digital occlusal analysis system. In addition, chewing side preference and chewing balance will be evaluated using a standardized chewing gum protocol. These two assessment methods will be used together to provide complementary information about masticatory function.

Measurements will be performed before treatment and during follow-up visits after treatment. The findings obtained from children with MIH will also be compared with healthy children without MIH. The study aims to determine whether restorative treatment improves chewing balance and functional oral performance in children with MIH.
