Abstract
Background: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a congenital qualitative disorder of the enamel tissue. During examinations, clinicians may observe a range of enamel opacities during examinations. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and awareness of dental students in Poland regarding MIH.
Methods: This study was conducted among dental students who participated in scientific conferences for dental students in Poland. An electronic questionnaire was created for this purpose, accessible via a QR code.
Results: The respondents consisted of dental students from the first to the fifth year of study, including 98 fourth-year students and 76 fifth-year students. The students represented 10 medical universities in Poland. Of the 341 respondents, 256 (75.07%) stated that they were familiar with the term MIH, but only 61 (17.89%) correctly indicated the diagnostic criteria of MIH. The most frequently indicated condition resembling MIH was enamel hypoplasia, with 158 (46.33%) respondents identifying it.
Conclusions: Dental students at Polish medical universities have basic knowledge of MIH, but it is insufficient and needs to be improved during their educational training.
