Abstract

Background: 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.

Methods: 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.

Results: 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.

Conclusion: 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.
