  • One single operator will assess the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization and its Severity among a group of Egyptian children .
Read the detailed description

the study is about the prevalance of molar incisor hypomineralization and its severity among a group of Egyptian children aged 8-12 years old in Giza Governorate schools.

  • Participants will be randomly selected from primary and preparatory schools in Giza governorate, seated in the school lap or an empty classroom.
  • Clinical examination will be made in the daylight using disposable diagnostic sets (mirror, and explorer). No diagnostic radiographs will be taken.
