Prevalence and Associated Factors of Hypomineralised Second Primary Molars in 3-5-Year-Old Children in Aydın, Türkiye.
Article in Oral health & preventive dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo determine the prevalence and associated factors of hypomineralisation of second primary molars (HSPM) in children aged between 3 and 5 years, in Aydın. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 1035 children, aged between 3 and 5 years old, participated in the study from 16 randomly selected kindergartens across 5 districts of Aydın. HSPM findings were recorded using the modified EAPD MIH Decision Criteria Index. To determine the associated factors, a questionnaire consisting of questions about prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors was filled out by parents. Descriptive statistics and Pearson chi-square tests were used.
resultsThe mean age was 4.66 ± 0.53 years; the prevalence of HSPM was 4.4% at the patient level and 2.31% at the tooth level. White, cream, yellow or brown demarcated opacities were the most common lesion type (69.79%); the most affected jaw was the mandible (71.87%), and the mean number of affected teeth among the children with HSPM was 2.17 ± 0.99. Considering the associated factors of HSPM, maternal febrile illnesses during pregnancy and children's febrile illnesses during perinatal and postnatal periods, along with nutritional supplement use, preterm birth, or breastfeeding duration, did not show statistical significance in HSPM development (p > 0.05).
conclusionResults of this study showed that the prevalence of HSPM (4.4%) in Aydın was slightly lower than the worldwide prevalence (6.8%). HSPM had many possible causes; to more clearly determine the aetiology of HSPM, more research is needed.
