Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 8 to 12 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Pediatric patients age range of 8 to 12 years with completely erupted at least one first permanent molar and whose parents agree their participation with signed consent will be diagnosed for MIH according to EAPD diagnostic criteria

Who may be able to join

  • Pediatric Patients with completely erupted at least one first permanent molar with MIH, based on a validated diagnostic criteria
  • Children age range from 8 and 12 years
  • Parents who agree and signed the consent for their children participation

Who cannot join

  • -Enamel defects only limited to the Permanent incisors; as the term MIH was chosen to always highlight the fact that molars are involved regularly in this condition, opacities on incisors only may relate to another origin of the defect and should not be referred to as MIH.

About this study

Official title: Association Between Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization, Maternal Stress and Anxiety in a Group of Pediatric Patients : A Cross-Sectional Study.

This study aims to evaluate the association between Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization, Maternal Stress and anxiety in a group of pediatric patients.

Read the detailed description

Molar incisor hypomineralization is a medical global condition characterised by a qualitative defect in the enamel mineralization affecting the first permanent molar teeth predominantly, and with or without the involvement of incisor teeth. MIH have various and major clinical challenges. Clinically the lesion appears with well demarcated opacity and porous with a color that ranges from white, creamy or yellow to brownish. Thus differ in its severity from mild to severe. The OHRQoL is a fundamental part of our children's general health and well-being but with the condition mentioned above their eating, sleeping, social interaction, self-esteem is being minimized and so the analysis of the etiological factors should be carried out.

Worldwide the prevalence of this condition, MIH was found to be from 2.4 to 40%, the reason behind this huge range difference is the use of different indices, diagnostic criteria, variability between examiners, lack of standardized methods of recording lesions and different age groups, while recent studies in Egypt reported 2.3% of MIH in a group of Egyptian children from 8 to 12 years in Cairo. Moreover, 878 million people across the world were MIH-affected and 17.5 million new cases are identified each year according to a study published 02 August 2022 in Egypt.

Despite the worldwide increasing interest in the causes of MIH, there is still insufficient evidence to verify the etiological factors of this condition, especially stress and anxiety. There is a potential relationship between stress and MIH, as glucocorticoids mainly cortisol have receptors on ameloblasts and so further research and population-based studies are urgently required to evaluate the prevalence of MIH and its association with stress.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • diagnosisDiagnostic test

    Pediatric patients within the inclusion criteria will be diagnosed for MIH by the primary investigator and the questionnaire will be filled with face to face interviews with their parents

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MIH occurrence due to stressful events

    Questionnaire(Brejawi MS etal .2022), Multiple choice questions , (yes or no if yes the participant should choose the degree:not at all/ very little/little/alot) where alot means it has the greatest impact of stress on the child.

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization, run by Cairo University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sarah M Sadek, bachelor (01143342788, sarah.sadek@dentistry.cu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MIH occurrence due to stressful events (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06081491, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
