ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into a condition called Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), which affects the first permanent molars and can sometimes impact the incisors (the front teeth). The study aims to understand if there's a connection between MIH and the stress and anxiety experienced by mothers of children aged 8 to 12 who have this condition. Researchers want to see how these factors might relate to each other in pediatric patients.

To be eligible for this study, children must have at least one fully erupted first permanent molar that shows signs of MIH. Parents must also agree and sign consent forms for their children to participate. The study is currently not recruiting participants, but once it starts, families can expect to take part in assessments that help researchers gather important information. This study could help improve our understanding of how maternal stress may influence dental health in children.
