Description
Massimo Pisano and five co-authors sum up how a tooth flaw affects life quality in children in a 2026 review. The flaw is molar incisor hypomineralization, weak enamel on key teeth. It can cause pain, decay, and tooth break-down. The team joined six prior reviews into one umbrella review.
The joined data cover 4,028 people, most of them children. Mouth effects scored worst, then mind, function, and social effects. Children felt the impact more than parents guessed in all areas. Younger children with mixed teeth felt it more than older ones. Care improved life quality after treatment, though data were thin. The authors urge care in reading the weaker findings.
