Discussion

Cross-sectional study reports 12% MIH prevalence in children, suggesting socioeconomic and health factors influence risk.

Molar incisor hypomineralization affects 12% of children aged 6-12, indicating its significant prevalence.
Of those with MIH, 76% exhibited severe defects while 24% had mild opacities, demonstrating severity variation.
Risk factors identified include socioeconomic status, maternal employment, and respiratory infections, showing complex links.
Long breastfeeding duration was associated with lower MIH rates, suggesting it might have a protective role.

Yılmaz et al. (2025) studied this question.
