“…Regarding color, MIH could appear as brown, yellow or creamy white demarcated enamel opacities. 2 With regards of the texture of the affected enamel, usually, it shows reduced physical and mechanical characteristics. Furthermore, in advanced cases, post-eruptive breakdown may be noticed, which could result in dentine exposure and could increase caries risk.…”

Background: Molar Incisor hypomineralizationis an enamel defect caused by a systemic disturbance that could have occurred during child development. It affects one or more permanent molars with or without incisors involvement. Many factors could contribute in presence of MIH, for instance, chronic illnesses during pregnancy or during the first three of childhood. However, the actual etiological factor has not been determined yet. The study aim is to evaluate the knowledge and the perception on MIH among GDPs in KSA.Methods: This is a descriptive cross sectional study, web-based survey conducted on 500 participants. An online questionnaire was distributed to all GDPs working in KSA. The data analysis done using SPSS version 23 (IBM Crop USA).Results: We found that the majority of GDPs perceptions were found that 64.7% had the thought that MIH is a public problem next to dental caries. When we assessed the perceptions about diagnosis MIH, it was found that 35.7% not confident and 58.3% showed some confidence in diagnosing the same. The dentists’ confidence about treating MIH showed that 49.5% were confident.Conclusions: We found that the majority of GDPs have a good knowledge. The perception was found that 64.7% had the thought that MIH is a public problem next to dental caries. When we assessed the perceptions about diagnosis MIH, it was found that 58.3% showed some confidence in diagnosing the same. The dentists’ confidence about treating MIH showed that 49.5% were confident.

Background: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is the hypomineralization of systemic origin of one to four permanent first molars, frequently associated with affected incisors. It is presented as demarcated enamel opacities of different colors, occasionally undergoing posteruptive breakdown. The characteristic feature of MIH is the clear demarcation between the affected and sound enamel. There is an asymmetry of defects present in the molars and incisors where one molar or incisor can be severely affected, while the contralateral tooth may be clinically sound or have only minor defects. Aim: The study aimed to assess and compare the knowledge, perceptions, and clinical experience of general dental practitioners (GDPs), pediatric dentists (PDs), and other dental specialists (DSs) in Northern India about MIH. Methodology: Online survey methods were used to collect the responses from Northern Indian dentists regarding their knowledge and perceptions about MIH. The survey tool focused on participants’ sociodemographics, clinical experience, perceptions, clinical management, and preferences for further training. The level of knowledge regarding MIH was compared among the three groups. Data analysis utilized Chi-square and one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s post hoc test using SPSS Statistics version 26. Results: The majority of respondents had observed MIH in their practice (77.3%). The participants who had a postgraduate degree had a significantly higher knowledge score value than GDPs (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Dissemination of evidence on MIH to dental practitioners, especially to GDPs, is highly needed to assure confidence in MIH diagnosis at an early stage when it can be best managed.
