      Purpose Identifying factors causing Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is an ongoing challenge. Preterm infants, routinely treated with antibiotics in cases of suspected sepsis, are more commonly afected by dental developmental defects. This study aimed to investigate the efects of gentamycin and ampicillin on the developing enamel in neonatal CD-1 mice in vivo.<p> <p>Methods Neonatal mice ...
    • Five-minute Apgar score ≤ 5 and molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) - a case control study

      Background: The aetiology of molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is unclear. The asymmetric distribution of MIH in the dentition may indicate that an insult of short duration that affects ameloblasts at a vulnerable stage could be a causative factor. Apgar ≤ 5 at 5 min may indicate asphyxia (hypoxic-ischemic insult) during birth. It was hypnotised that low Apgar score during birth may cause MIH. ...
