Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel defect in permanent first molar and inci-sor teeth. The defects may vary from white, to yellow-brown demarcated opacities that may easily break (post-eruptive breakdown) and results in extensive caries or early extraction of the teeth. The unaesthetic appearance of anterior teeth, sensitivity, pain, and difficulties in achieving local anesthes...

Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common developmental condition resulting in enamel defects in first permanent molars and permanent incisors. It presents at eruption of these teeth. Early diagnosis is essential since rapid breakdown of tooth structure may occur, giving rise to acute symptoms and complicated treatment. The purpose of this article is to review MIH and illustrate its cl...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 12-month clinical performance of glass ionomer restorations in teeth with MIH. First permanent molars affected by MIH (48) were restored with glass ionomer cement (GIC) and evaluated at baseline, at 6 and at 12 months, by assessing tooth enamel breakdown, GIC breakdown and caries lesion associations. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test ...

BACKGROUND The study aimed to explore the variability between the treatment decisions dentists make for MIH-affected teeth. METHODS In 2009, a pre-coded questionnaire was sent electronically to all dentists employed by the Public Dental Service (PDS) in Norway (n = 1061). The questions were related to treatment of MIH-affected teeth, including three patient cases illustrated by photographs an...
