Management of MIH to prevent early posteruptive enamel breakdown- A case report
Dr Simone Bagattoni and colleagues from the Department of Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences, Unit of Dental Care for Special Needs Patients and Paediatric Dentistry, University of Bologna, Alma Mater Studiorum, Bologna, Italy recently reported an unusual case study where they found out a novel interim approach to prevent early posteruptive enamel breakdown of molar-incisor hypomineralization.
The research is published in the Journal of American Dental Association.
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is the hypomineralization of systemic origin of one to four permanent first molars, frequently associated with affected incisors. It is a qualitative defect of the enamel. It is also called as hypomineralized permanent first molars (PFMs), idiopathic enamel hypomineralization, nonfluoride hypomineralization, and dysmineralized PFMs.
