Materials and Methods: Two panoramic radiographs taken five years (mean 5.32±0.24) apart from each of the 92 patients (46 T2DM and 46 healthy) were evaluated. The DMFT index was calculated in a total of 184 panoramic …

Background: Molar incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) has become a more widespread problem around the world, while its prevalence in Egypt is underestimated with no data on its correlation to Hypomineralization of Second Primary Molars (HSPM). Aim: Estimate the prevalence of MIH and HSPM in Egypt, investigate the possibility of HSPM being a predictive factor for MIH, and the probable etiological factors for MIH. Material and Methods: Three hundred and seventeen healthy children aged seven to ten years old were dentally examined for Molar Incisor Hypomineralization and Hypomineralization of Second Primary Molars and all potentially correlated etiological factors. Both MIH and HSPM …
