To determine the perception of Indian dental professionals about prevalence, severity, and etiological factors of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH).
An online survey was mailed to dental professionals encompassing various questions regarding etiology, diagnosis, prevalence, and management of MIH.
More than 90% of the respondents encounter teeth with hypomineralization in their practice, with less than half of them encountering such teeth on a monthly basis. Among these more than one-third find it difficult to manage one or the other aspect of MIH. The etiology was found to be varying as per the respondents.
Molar incisor hypomineralization is a common condition encountered by dental professionals with no apparent consensus regarding the anticipated prevalence, severity, and etiology of this condition. Knowledge of clinicians' level of perception could be an incentive for pediatric dentists to become more acquainted with MIH by conducting research into its different aspects.

确定印度牙科专业人员对磨牙切牙矿化不全(MIH)的患病率、严重程度及病因学因素的认知情况。
向牙科专业人员发送了一份在线调查问卷,其中包含有关MIH的病因、诊断、患病率及管理等各种问题。
超过90%的受访者在临床实践中遇到过矿化不全的牙齿,其中每月遇到此类牙齿的受访者不到一半。在这些受访者中,超过三分之一的人发现难以处理MIH的某一个或其他方面的问题。根据受访者的反馈,病因各不相同。
磨牙切牙矿化不全是牙科专业人员常见遇到的一种情况,对于这种情况的预期患病率、严重程度和病因,目前尚无明显共识。了解临床医生的认知水平可能会激励儿科牙医通过对MIH的不同方面进行研究,从而更深入地了解它。乌帕德亚伊S、库马尔G、迪隆JK、吉尔NC。印度牙科医生对磨牙切牙矿化不全的认知。《国际临床儿科牙科杂志》2018年;11(2):116 - 121。
