Sponsor's own description

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental condition that affects the enamel of permanent molars and incisors in children and may cause tooth sensitivity, discomfort, and difficulties during dental treatment. These problems can increase dental anxiety and lead to physiological stress responses during dental visits. The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate physiological stress responses in children with MIH by measuring salivary cortisol levels, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, and to compare these findings with those of children without MIH. A total of 90 children aged 8 to 12 years will participate in the study, including 45 children diagnosed with MIH and 45 healthy control participants. Participation involves no treatment or intervention beyond a routine clinical dental examination. Heart rate and oxygen saturation will be measured during the dental visit, and saliva samples will be collected immediately after the examination using a non-invasive method to assess cortisol levels. The results of this study may contribute to a better understanding of stress responses in children with MIH and support the development of more individualized and anxiety-sensitive dental care approaches.
