Brief Summary

This interventional, quasi experimental study aims to assess the effectiveness of an educational program on improving dental interns' knowledge, attitude and awareness regarding Molar-Incisor Hypo-mineralization (MIH).

A total of 200 dental interns from Future University will participate. A structured questionnaire will be administered before and after the educational intervention to measure changes in participants' knowledge , attitude and awareness.

The study seeks to evaluate whether targeted educational efforts can enhance clinical awareness and management approaches toward MIH among dental interns

Detailed Description

This study is designed as an interventional quasi experimental study . Educational research project conducted among dental interns at Future University.

The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of a structured educational program on the knowledge , awareness and attitude of dental interns regarding Molar-Incisor Hypo-mineralization (MIH).

A total of 200 dental interns will be invited to participate. The study will follow a pre-test/post-test design, in which participants will complete a validated questionnaire before and after attending the educational session.

The session will include a lecture covering the aetiology , clinical features, diagnosis, and management strategies of MIH.

Data collected will be analysed to determine if there are statistically significant improvements in knowledge ,attitude and awareness following the intervention. The results of this study may support the integration of targeted MIH education into undergraduate dental training to enhance future practitioners' ability to diagnose and manage MIH cases effectively.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1ry Outcome To evaluate effectiveness of an educational program on knowledge, attitude and awareness regarding MIH among dental interns.	Baseline	The survey consists of three sections to assess knowledge, attitude, and awareness toward Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH). The knowledge section includes 13 multiple-choice questions covering etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of MIH. Each correct answer scores 1 point, with a total range of 0-13; higher scores indicate better knowledge. The attitude section contains 8 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree), total range 8-40; higher scores indicate more positive attitudes. The awareness section includes 2 clinical case scenarios with structured questions; each correct answer scores 1 point, total range 0-2; higher scores reflect better awareness and diagnostic ability.
