The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, and treatment of MIH among dentists in Jordan.
An online questionnaire using Google Forms was sent to the dentists who were registered with the Jordan Dental Association and worked in Jordan through social media groups. The questionnaire consisted of three sections, sociodemographic characteristics, the knowledge of dentists about the aetiology, diagnosis, and prevalence of MIH, and treatment options and barriers for treating MIH. Descriptive statistics with chi-squared test was used, and level of statistical significance was set to 5%.
A total of 388 dentists had responded to the questionnaire (response rate 24.25%), (80.7%) reported that they have come across MIH cases during their practice. Yellow/brown demarcations were reported as the most common presentation of MIH (45.6%). All paediatric dentists were confident in diagnosing MIH, this was statistically higher than that reported by general dentists (56.8%) and dentists of other specialities (60.2%), P = 0.000. Pre-formed metal crowns were the treatment of choice for (57.2%) of participant, followed by composite restorations (52.3%). Child behaviour (56.2%), and late acknowledgment of the defect by the parents (46.1%) were the most encountered barriers for treatment.
Molar incisor hypomineralisation is a common condition that is encountered frequently by general dental practitioners as well as dental specialists, nevertheless most dentists were not aware about the prevalence of MIH in Jordan and indicated their need to improve their approach regarding MIH diagnosis and treatment.
本研究旨在评估约旦牙医对磨牙症的认识及治疗情况。
通过社交媒体群组向在约旦牙科协会注册并在约旦工作的牙医发送了一份使用谷歌表单的在线问卷。问卷包括三个部分：社会人口统计学特征、牙医对磨牙症病因、诊断和患病率的了解，以及治疗选择和治疗磨牙症的障碍。使用卡方检验进行描述性统计，设定统计学显著性水平为5%。
共有388名牙医回复了问卷（回复率为24.25%），80.7%的人报告在其执业过程中遇到过磨牙症病例。黄色/棕色分界线被报告为磨牙症最常见的表现形式（45.6%）。所有儿科牙医对诊断磨牙症都有信心，这在统计学上高于普通牙医（56.8%）和其他专科牙医（60.2%）报告的比例，P = 0.000。预成金属冠是57.2%的参与者的治疗选择，其次是复合树脂修复（52.3%）。儿童行为（56.2%）和家长对缺陷的认识较晚（46.1%）是治疗中最常遇到的障碍。
磨牙症是一种常见病症，普通牙科医生和牙科专家都会经常遇到，然而大多数牙医并不了解约旦磨牙症的患病率，并表示他们需要改进对磨牙症的诊断和治疗方法。
