Short-Term Changes in Occlusal Force Distribution and Masticatory Muscle Activity After Restorative Treatment in Children with Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization: An Exploratory Pilot Study.

Children (Basel, Switzerland) · Savaş AN, Durmuş B, Gözler S, Kargül B · 2026-09-16

Researchers measured changes in bite force distribution and chewing muscle activity in five children with molar-incisor hypomineralization before and three months after restoring affected teeth. Restoring the teeth reduced bite force imbalance and eliminated tooth sensitivity, though muscle activity patterns remained unchanged.
