Background:
Treatment of Molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) poses significant challenges for pediatric dentists due to its varied clinical manifestations and treatment needs. Understanding and evaluating different treatment options can improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to analyze available evidence on treatment options for restoring MIH-affected young permanent teeth.
Methods:
This scoping review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. A systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, and Science Direct databases, covering publications from 2014 to 2024. The search focused on therapies for young permanent teeth with MIH in children, employing predefined keywords and the Population, Concept, and Context framework.
Results:
A total of 20 studies were included from Turkiye, Brazil, Syria, Germany, Egypt, and India. Thirteen articles examined first molars, five focused on incisors, and two covered both. The population studied ranged from 6 to 18 years old, involving up to 281 children and between 30 to 326 teeth. The study provides insights into various management and treatment approaches for MIH-affected teeth, along with the effectiveness and long-term stability of different methods and materials.
Conclusion:
Materials such as resin infiltration, SDF, HVGI, full metal crowns, SSC, lithium disilicate, zirconia crowns, and CAD/CAM ceramic restorations offer greater longevity and require less retreatment in managing MIH-affected teeth.
