Assessment of Peridontal Inflamatuar Markers in MIH

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH)

In brief

The goal of this observational study is to investigate periodontal inflammatory mediators in systemically healthy children aged 8-13 years with and without molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) who require initial periodontal treatment due to gingivitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are the levels of periodontal inflammatory mediators in gingival crevicular fluid different between children with MIH and those without MIH? Is the presence and severity of MIH associated with clinical periodontal parameters and dentin hypersensitivity? Researchers will compare children with MIH to children without MIH to determine whether MIH is associated with changes in periodontal inflammatory mediator levels and periodontal clinical findings.
