Dental caries and molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) are prevalent conditions affecting children's oral health, with functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial implications. In Spain, previous studies have highlighted geographic and sociodemographic disparities in their distribution, particularly among rural and migrant populations. To characterise oral health status, in terms of caries and MIH, among 6-7-year-old children from the towns of Palos de la Frontera, Mazagón, and San Bartolomé. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 229 children recruited from public primary schools. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, and behavioural data were collected through clinical examination and interview. Statistical analysis included univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Huelva. The prevalence of caries (DMFT ≥ 1) was 53.3%, with mean DMFT and dft indices of 1.78 and 0.31, respectively. MIH affected 32.8% of the cohort, with a predominance in the first permanent molars (teeth 36 and 26). Multivariate analysis identified independent predictors of caries: African (OR = 7.47; 95% CI: 2.84-23.8) and European (OR = 4.56; 95% CI: 1.26-22.3) parental origin, poor oral hygiene (OR = 3.07; 95% CI: 1.60-6.03), and the presence of MIH (OR = 3.20; 95% CI: 1.64-6.42). The municipality of San Bartolomé was associated with a higher risk of MIH (OR = 2.90; 95% CI: 1.21-7.45). The high prevalence of caries and MIH in the Condado-Campiña district, exceeding national averages, reflects oral health inequities linked to social determinants (migrant origin, locality) and clinical factors (MIH, oral hygiene). Targeted preventive interventions are urgently needed in high-risk populations, including culturally tailored education and policies ensuring equitable access to dental care services.
龋齿和磨牙-切牙矿化不全(MIH)是影响儿童口腔健康的常见病症,会对功能、美观和心理社会方面产生影响。在西班牙,先前的研究突出了它们在分布上的地理和社会人口统计学差异,尤其是在农村和移民人口中。为了描述来自帕洛斯德拉弗龙特拉、马萨贡和圣巴托洛梅等城镇的6至7岁儿童在龋齿和MIH方面的口腔健康状况,开展了一项横断面研究,涉及从公立小学招募的229名儿童。通过临床检查和访谈收集了社会人口统计学、人体测量学和行为数据。统计分析包括单变量和多变量逻辑回归。该研究方案获得了韦尔瓦伦理委员会的批准。龋齿患病率(DMFT≥1)为53.3%,DMFT和dft指数均值分别为1.78和0.31。MIH影响了该队列32.8%的儿童,主要累及第一恒磨牙(第36和26颗牙)。多变量分析确定了龋齿的独立预测因素:非洲裔(OR = 7.47;95% CI:2.84 - 23.8)和欧洲裔(OR = 4.56;95% CI:1.26 - 22.3)父母祖籍、口腔卫生差(OR = 3.07;95% CI:1.60 - 6.03)以及存在MIH(OR = 3.20;95% CI:1.64 - 6.42)。圣巴托洛梅市与MIH风险较高相关(OR = 2.90;95% CI:1.21 - 7.45)。孔达多 - 坎皮尼亚地区龋齿和MIH的高患病率超过了全国平均水平,反映了与社会决定因素(移民祖籍、所在地)和临床因素(MIH、口腔卫生)相关的口腔健康不平等。迫切需要对高危人群采取有针对性的预防干预措施,包括开展文化上量身定制的教育以及制定确保公平获得牙科护理服务的政策。
