Abstract

Context: The etiology of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) has been extensively explored. Recently, the effect of drugs used in aerosol therapy in childhood has been implicated as a possible factor in the development of MIH. Aim: A case-control study was conducted in children aged 6–13 years to determine the association between aerosol therapy and other factors in the development of MIH. Materials and methods: A total of 200 children were examined for the presence of MIH according to the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) criteria (2003). Their mothers or primary caregivers were interviewed regarding the preterm history and perinatal, and postnatal history of the child up to 3 years of life. Statistical analysis: The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis using descriptive and inferential analyses. The p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Statistically significant association was observed between the development of MIH and exposure to aerosol therapy in childhood and the use of antibiotics before 1 year of life. Conclusion: Exposure to aerosol therapy and antibiotics before 1 year of age are risk factors in MIH. Children who had aerosol therapy and antibiotics are 2.01 times and 1.61 times more prone to MIH.
