AIM: To report on the prevalence, defect characteristics, and distribution of hypomineralised @entity14478 (HSPM) in Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India and to report on possible association, if any, between HSPM and molar-incisor-hypomineralisation (MIH). METHODS: A cross-sectional survey included a random sample of 978, 6-8-year-old school @entity1 . EAPD diagnostic criteria for scoring MIH defects on @entity2319 ( @entity2319 ) were adapted and used to score hypomineralisation defects in both @entity2319 and @entity14478 ( @entity14478 ) by a single calibrated examiner. Comparative statistics for HSPM versus hypomineralised @entity2319 were computed using a Chi square test. An odds ratio (OR) at 95  % confidence interval (CI) was used to test and any association between HSPM and MIH. RESULTS: An overall prevalence of 5.6  % (55/978) was reported for HSPM in the study population. Prevalence of MIH as hypomineralised @entity2319 was 7.4  % (72/978). Concomitant presence of HSPM and MIH was observed in 32.73  % (18/55) of affected subjects. The presence of HSPM had significantly higher odds ratio for development of MIH (OR 7.82; 95  % CI  =  4.18-14.65; p  <  0.001). A greater severity of defects was observed in HSPM compared with affected @entity2319 as greater number of affected surfaces presented with post-eruptive breakdown (PEB) in former compared to latter (p  <  0.001). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of HSPM in 6-8-year-old Indian @entity1 was 5.6  %. The severity of hypomineralisation was milder in @entity2319 compared to @entity14478 . The presence of HSPM was reported to have significantly higher odds for development of MIH in future.
