Beschreibung:
Background: Molar–incisor hypomineralization (MIH) has a strong negative effect on oralhealth-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Malformed teeth can be hypersensitive, and the discoloration
might affect children’s appearances, reducing their well-being. The purpose of the study was
to investigate how hypomineralized incisors and molars differ in children’s perceived OHRQoL.
Materials and Methods: 252 children aged 7–10 years old were included and subdivided into three
equal groups (n = 84). Group A included children with asymptomatic molars and affected incisors.
Group B included children presenting only affected molars. Group C was the control group, with
children showing no MIH. All participants were asked to complete the German version of the Child
Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ-G8-10) to measure OHRQoL. Results: Participants in the posterior
group showed a median total CPQ of 13.4 (±1.7), which was significantly higher than scores in the
anterior and control group, which showed a median total CPQ of 8.4 (±1.4) and 4.2 (±0.7), respectively.
Children in the posterior group suffered more from oral symptoms and functional limitations, whereas
the anterior group dealt more with social and emotional well-being problems. Conclusions: The
position of the MIH-affected teeth causes different influences on perceived OHRQoL.
