The purpose of this study was to assess the awareness of molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) and hypomineralised second primary molars (HSPMs) among dental practitioners in Northern Italy, and to gather data on the occurrence of these conditions in their paediatric patients.
A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured online questionnaire administered through Google Forms. The survey comprised 10 single-choice questions addressing the occurrence of MIH and HSPM in caries-free patients aged 6-9 years.
A total of 315 dentists participated in the survey, yielding a response rate of 31.5%. The majority of respondents reported that 1-25% of their paediatric patients exhibited HSPMs. Among this group, 43.62% of respondents observed MIH in 1-25% of cases.
The findings from this survey suggest a consistent perception of MIH and HSPMs among dental practitioners, aligning with known prevalence data and indicating recognition of these conditions within the dental community in Northern Italy.
本研究的目的是评估意大利北部牙科从业者对磨牙切牙矿化不全（MIH）和第二乳磨牙矿化不全（HSPM）的认知，并收集其儿科患者中这些病症的发生数据。
采用通过谷歌表单管理的结构化在线问卷进行横断面研究。该调查包括10个单项选择题，涉及6 - 9岁无龋患者中MIH和HSPM的发生情况。
共有315名牙医参与了调查，回复率为31.5%。大多数受访者报告称，其儿科患者中有1 - 25%表现出HSPM。在这一组中，43.62%的受访者观察到1 - 25%的病例存在MIH。
本次调查结果表明，牙科从业者对MIH和HSPM的认知较为一致，与已知的患病率数据相符，并表明意大利北部牙科界对这些病症有所认识。
