The presence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) raises the likelihood of enamel degradation, which in turn raises the risk of plaque buildup and dental caries. Individuals impacted by this illness frequently incur large long-term costs. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate prevalence and treatment need of MIH in school going children. Hence, 3030 school going students were included in this study. Considering the WHO 1997 guidelines for caries severity and the requirement of therapy for the damaged teeth and criteria for MIH, a full mouth visual assessment of moist teeth was conducted for every student. The overall prevalence of MIH was 174 (7.9%). Preventive caries restricting therapy was needed in 42(6.2%) maxillary right first molar,30(4.5%) maxillary left first molar, 30 (4.5%) mandibular right first molar, 36 (5.4%) in mandibular left first molar. Data shows that an incidence rate of 7.4 percent was noted, with a larger propensity among male children and a predominant impact on mandibular molars.
磨牙切牙矿化不全（MIH）的存在增加了牙釉质退化的可能性，进而增加了牙菌斑积聚和龋齿的风险。受这种疾病影响的个体经常会产生巨大的长期费用。因此，评估在校儿童中MIH的患病率和治疗需求具有重要意义。因此，本研究纳入了3030名在校学生。根据世界卫生组织1997年关于龋齿严重程度的指南、受损牙齿的治疗要求以及MIH的标准，对每名学生的湿润牙齿进行了全口视觉评估。MIH的总体患病率为174例（7.9%）。上颌右侧第一磨牙有42例（6.2%）、上颌左侧第一磨牙有30例（4.5%）、下颌右侧第一磨牙有30例（4.5%）、下颌左侧第一磨牙有36例（5.4%）需要进行预防性龋齿限制治疗。数据显示，发病率为7.4%，男性儿童的发病率更高，且对下颌磨牙的影响更为显著。
