Abstract

Dental caries and developmental defects of enamel (DDE) are some of the major problems observed in primary dentition and young permanent teeth. Among them, Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) has been recorded as one of the most pressing issues affecting young patients. The term “Molar Incisor Hypomineralization” was adopted to describe a demarcated qualitative development defect of systemic origin that affects the permanent first molars that may be associated with permanent incisors, in order to unify the denomination of non-fluorotic or idiopathic hypomineralizations.
