Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH): effective treatment, clinical approach in pediatric dentistry: Clinical case report.

Abstract

Molar Incisor Hypomineralization is defined as a qualitative enamel defect, although its etiology still differs and may be a consequence of problems during pregnancy or the formation of the organic matrix of the tooth. It comes with different characteristics and grades. The clinical case report presents a Central Incisor with a demarcated creamy white opacity corresponding to grade 2 by Ghanim et al. (2015). They classify injuries into degrees; thus affecting the patient's aesthetics and being a concern for parents, a treatment was proposed that consists of a minimally invasive alternative using the infiltrating resin with the commercial name ICON, it is indicated for D1 or R3 lesions according to radiological detection criteria (radiolucency up to external third of the dentin) and white spot lesions on free vestibular surfaces, the early detection of these lesions will lead us to initiate prevention measures incorporating hygienic practices and application of restorative and preventive materials, infiltrative resins are an alternative and novel method to despite their cost and difficulty of acquisition since they must be imported from neighboring countries.
