Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Dental Biomaterials

Background:

  • Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) affects the quality of enamel in permanent molars and incisors.
  • MIH-affected teeth present unique clinical challenges, including increased sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and complex occlusal relationships.
  • Effective management of MIH is crucial for long-term dental health and patient quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current methods for restoring permanent molars and incisors affected by Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation.
  • To discuss the specific challenges encountered during MIH restoration, including sensitivity, occlusion, and aesthetics.
  • To outline and recommend appropriate restorative options for MIH-affected teeth.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) restoration.
  • Analysis of clinical challenges associated with MIH, such as hypersensitivity, occlusal disturbances, and aesthetic deficits.
  • Categorization and evaluation of various restorative materials and techniques.

Main Results:

  • Restoration of MIH-affected teeth requires careful consideration of tooth structure, patient age, and aesthetic demands.
  • Options range from direct composite restorations to indirect restorations like crowns and veneers.
  • Material selection should prioritize durability, biocompatibility, and aesthetic integration.

Conclusions:

  • Appropriate restoration of Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) is essential for functional and aesthetic rehabilitation.
  • A tailored approach considering individual patient needs and specific tooth characteristics is recommended.
  • Further research into long-term outcomes of different restorative strategies for MIH is warranted.
