Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) affects 10-19% of children, causing enamel defects in molars and incisors. Early detection and preventive treatments like fluoride varnish and fissure sealing are crucial for managing sensitive teeth and preventing caries.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Developmental Biology
  • Pediatric Health

Background:

  • Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common enamel developmental defect affecting permanent first molars and incisors.
  • Prevalence ranges from 10-19%, with lesions often termed 'cheese molars' due to their appearance.
  • MIH presents as demarcated opacities, increasing caries risk and tooth sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the etiology, clinical presentation, and management of Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation.
  • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and preventive strategies for affected teeth.
  • To discuss potential treatment options, including restorative and surgical interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of etiological factors, including environmental and systemic influences.
  • Evaluation of clinical manifestations and histological findings.
  • Review of current preventive and restorative treatment modalities.

    • Main Results:

    • MIH etiology is multifactorial, potentially linked to dioxin exposure, birth complications, respiratory illnesses, and systemic conditions.
    • Affected teeth exhibit enamel porosity, leading to hypersensitivity and increased susceptibility to caries.
    • Treatment strategies focus on prevention (fluoride, sealants) and restoration (composites, crowns), with extraction considered in severe cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation requires intensified preventive care and tailored restorative approaches.
    • Early intervention is key to managing sensitivity, preventing caries, and improving long-term dental health outcomes.
    • An interdisciplinary approach, potentially involving orthodontists, may be necessary for optimal management.
