Abstract

BACKGROUND

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is estimated to affect more than 800 million people worldwide. The clinical management of MIH can be challenging. For dentists, to provide effective and high-quality dental care to people affected by MIH, it is essential that they improve their awareness, ability to describe the clinical situation, and knowledge of treatment modalities. Previous surveys conducted with students showed that only a limited number are confident in diagnosing MIH. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical knowledge and perceptions of 4th- and 5th-year dental students regarding the distribution, severity, etiology and treatment modalities of MIH.

METHODS

In this cross-sectional study, a total of 194 students studying in the 4th- (85 students) and 5th- (109 students) years participated in the survey. The survey had 23 questions and two sections, the first of which was intended to gather demographic information about the students. The second part consisted of questions about the diagnosis, etiology, and treatment of MIH. The independent t test and the chi-square test was used to compare qualitative data.

RESULTS

The majority of students (78.87%) stated that they had known about MIH. 5th-year students had known about MIH at a statistically significantly higher rate compared to 4th-year students (p = 0.0001). While only 19.69% of the participants stated that they could diagnose a patient with MIH, the proportion of 5th-year students who could make such a diagnosis was statistically significantly higher (p = 0.0001). The majority of the participants (96.39%) stated that they wanted MIH-related practices to be included more in their clinical education. The most desired topic to be included was diagnosis (91.98%).

CONCLUSIONS

The current study showed that students have some knowledge about MIH, but this knowledge is not sufficient, especially in terms of diagnosis and treatment. The students clearly wanted to develop their knowledge of MIH both theoretically and practically.

摘要

背景

据估计，全球有超过8亿人受到磨牙症性切牙低矿化（MIH）的影响。MIH的临床管理可能具有挑战性。对于牙医来说，要为受MIH影响的人提供有效和高质量的牙科护理，提高他们的认识、描述临床情况的能力以及治疗方式的知识至关重要。先前对学生进行的调查显示，只有少数人有信心诊断MIH。本研究的目的是评估四、五年级牙科学生关于MIH的分布、严重程度、病因和治疗方式的临床知识和认知。

方法

在这项横断面研究中，共有194名四年级（85名学生）和五年级（109名学生）的学生参与了调查。该调查有23个问题，分为两个部分，第一部分旨在收集学生的人口统计学信息。第二部分包括关于MIH的诊断、病因和治疗的问题。使用独立t检验和卡方检验来比较定性数据。

结果

大多数学生（78.87%）表示他们了解MIH。与四年级学生相比，五年级学生了解MIH的比例在统计学上显著更高（p = 0.0001）。虽然只有19.69%的参与者表示他们可以诊断患有MIH的患者，但能够做出这种诊断的五年级学生比例在统计学上显著更高（p = 0.0001）。大多数参与者（96.39%）表示他们希望在临床教育中更多地纳入与MIH相关的实践。最希望纳入的主题是诊断（91.98%）。
