Background: Teeth developmental problems are a result of the intricate interaction between genetic and environmental factors in the early stages of tooth formation. The present study was conducted to assess molar incisor hypomineralization prevalence in the schoolchildren. Materials & Methods: 1025 children aged 8-14 years of both genders were screened for the prevalence of MIH according to European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) 2003 diagnostic criteria and severity for MIH was examined using Wetzel and Reckel scale. Results: Out of 1025 subjects, 450 were males and 575 were females.MIH severity found to be 0 in 992, 1 in 10 and 2 in 23 subjects. The prevalence was 3.2%. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence rate of molar incisor hypomineralization in 8-14 years old schoolchildren was 3.2%.
