Although the dentistry curriculum prioritizes the benefits of MID in tooth protection, this research is seldom included in classroom instruction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The purpose of this research was to gauge the level of understanding that dental professionals have about MID ideas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An online questionnaire measuring MID knowledge and application was used to compile the data.
