Abstract

Background: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is the presentation of an enamel defect, where incisors and one (or more) molars are affected. Identifying MIH is significant in restoring its visual defect and avoiding pain or other consequences of this condition. The present cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the awareness, ability, and confidence in identifying MIH among postgraduate residents in the state of Nevada. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among postdoctoral dental residents at the School of Dental Medicine, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. This cross-sectional study used images of cases of MIH and a survey to collect the data. The survey included demographics, educational background, and basic knowledge of MIH. Results: The response rate to the invitation to participate was 91%. The confidence in identifying MIH was 100%, 50%, and 33.3% for pediatric, orthodontic, and general practice residency (GPR). A total of 70% were aware of this anomaly from their predoctoral dental education and indicated the need for further related education. There was 33% confusion with fluorosis and 16.6% with amelogenesis imperfecta. A total of 66.6% of the participants indicated that they require further education relating to MIH. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present investigation, MIH awareness among the investigated groups varied but was highest amongst the pediatric residents.
臼齿低矿化:博士后牙科住院医师的意识:一项横断面研究
背景:臼齿低矿化(MIH)是牙釉质缺陷的表现,其中门牙和一颗(或多颗)磨牙受到影响。识别MIH对于恢复其视觉缺陷和避免疼痛或其他后果具有重要意义。本横断面研究旨在评估内华达州研究生居民识别MIH的意识、能力和信心。方法:本横断面研究在内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校口腔医学院博士后牙科住院医师中进行。本横断面研究使用MIH病例的图像和调查来收集数据。调查内容包括人口统计、教育背景和MIH的基本知识。结果:参加邀请的回复率为91%。小儿、正畸和全科住院医师(GPR)识别MIH的置信度分别为100%、50%和33.3%。共有70%的人在其博士前牙科教育中意识到这一异常,并表示需要进一步的相关教育。33%与氟中毒相混淆,16.6%与无淀粉性发育不全相混淆。共有66.6%的参与者表示他们需要继续接受与MIH有关的教育。结论:在本调查的范围内,被调查人群对MIH的认识各不相同,但以儿科住院医生最高。
