Abstract

Aim

This was to investigate the association of peripartum events with the occurrence of MIH.

Methods

This study, carried out between 2010 and 2011, was based on objective information noted in child health booklets on putative risk factors for MIH during the Peripartum period, aged between 6 to 28 years. The target population consisted of patients with MIH and a control group. Among the 849 patients examined by two calibrated paediatric dentists, 75 patients with MIH were recorded. These patients attended for consultation either at the teaching dental hospital of Bordeaux (France) or at a private dental practice (Bordeaux, France). Pearson’s Chi-squared test was used and Odds ratios (OR) with 95 % test-based confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.

Results

Correlations were observed between hypoxia during delivery and occurrence of MIH (OR = 6.1; CI = 1.7–21.85), and also between birth by caesarean section and MIH (OR = 2.9; CI = 1.2–6.9). There was no association between prematurity and MIH.

Conclusions

Peripartum events such as hypoxia during birth or delivery by caesarean section are suggested to be risk factors for the occurrence of MIH in this population.
