Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, and treatment of MIH among dentists in Jordan.

Methods: 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%.

Results: 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.

Conclusion: 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.

约旦牙医对磨牙切牙矿化不足（MIH）的认识和治疗：一项基于横断面问卷的研究。

目的：本研究旨在评估约旦牙医对MIH的了解和治疗情况：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格的在线问卷。问卷包括三个部分：社会人口学特征；牙医对 MIH 病因、诊断和发病率的了解；治疗 MIH 的治疗方案和障碍。研究采用描述性统计和卡方检验，统计显著性水平设定为5%：共有 388 名牙医回复了调查问卷（回复率为 24.25%），其中 80.7%的牙医表示在诊疗过程中遇到过 MIH 病例。据报告，黄/棕色分界是MIH最常见的表现形式（45.6%）。所有儿童牙医都对诊断MIH有信心，在统计学上高于普通牙医（56.8%）和其他专科牙医（60.2%），P = 0.000。57.2%的参与者选择预成型金属牙冠，其次是复合树脂修复体（52.3%）。儿童的行为（56.2%）和父母对缺陷的迟迟不承认（46.1%）是治疗过程中遇到的最大障碍：臼齿切牙低矿化是一种常见病，普通牙科医生和牙科专家都会经常遇到，但大多数牙科医生都不了解臼齿切牙低矿化在约旦的发病率，并表示他们需要改进臼齿切牙低矿化的诊断和治疗方法。

期刊介绍： The aim and scope of European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) is to promote research in all aspects of dentistry for children, including interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs. The EAPD focuses on the publication and critical evaluation of clinical and basic science research related to children. The EAPD will consider clinical case series reports, followed by the relevant literature review, only where there are new and important findings of interest to Paediatric Dentistry and where details of techniques or treatment carried out and the success of such approaches are given.
