Studies on MIH in Jaipur city are not available till date. Aim: This study aims to determine the prevalence of MIH among primary schoolchildren of three villages of Jaipur city, Rajasthan, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out in three government primary schools of Gunawata, Toda Meena, and Basna villages under school dental camp program of Jaipur Dental College. A total of 430 children age between 6 and 9 years were examined and MIH was found in 18 children. Among the affected children, there were 12 girls and 6 boys.
