Background: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) affects the enamel, causing sensitivity and fragility, increasing the risk of caries. Detecting and treating these conditions in children is essential to prevent and address caries, a public health problem in Chile. The epidemiology of MIH in Chile is poorly studied. In a study in Temuco 2011, a prevalence of 16.8% was found, with 57% severe cases, 20% moderate and 23% mild. Another study in Talca showed a prevalence of 14.1%. Objective: Determine the prevalence of MIH in boys and girls aged 6 to 12 years attended in 4th and 5th year CNA at Finis Terrae University and Cesfam Rosita Renard in 2023. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional descriptive observational study, focused on studying the prevalence of MIH in boys and girls between 6 and 12 years old. CNA 4th and 5th patients from the UFT and CESFAM Rosita Renard were evaluated during the year 2023 considering sex, age, tooth type, presence and severity of MIH. Results: A total of 80 boys and girls were evaluated, of which there was a prevalence of 61.25% of MIH. Discussions and conclusion: The prevalence of MIH in the population of this study were 61.25%.
