Summary
Introduction: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) was defined as hypomineralization of systemic origin of permanent first molars, frequently associated with affected incisors.It seems to have been recognised first in the 1970s. Prevalence varies between 2.4% and 25%.
Aim: The aim of the study was to present the etiology, characteristics, clinical forms of MIH and therapeutic methods in this disease, based on a review of the literature. The most common aethiological factors include neonatal problems and sicknesses during early childhood. MIH is presented with clearly defined non-transparent white, yellow or brown spots on the buccal and occlusal surfaces of molars clearly demarcated from normal enamel. Depending on the severity of the changes, there are three forms of MIH: mild, moderate and severe. Dental treatment of the MIH should be done in stages.
Conlusions: The prevalence of MIH appears to be increasing, and managing affected children is now a common problem for pediatric dentists. The key for successful treatment of patients with MIH is early diagnosis, team work and long-term intensive dental care.
