Study reveals mouth function differences in kids with enamel defect
NCT ID NCT06692257
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how children with a common enamel defect called MIH (molar incisor hypomineralization) use their mouths to chew and breathe compared to children without it. Researchers tested 56 children aged 6 to 12 using a standard orofacial exam. The goal was to understand if MIH causes functional problems beyond just tooth sensitivity.
