In the event presented here, to which you are cordially invited, we will be discussing the following topic:
Prophylaxis in MIH affected teeth
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a common developmental dental condition that presents in childhood. Around 13-14% of children are affected worldwide. MIH presents as demarcated, qualitative enamel defects of one or more of the permanent molars with or without the involvement of the incisors. Depending on the severity, affected teeth are more prone to caries and post-eruptive enamel breakdown and should be diagnosed and managed as early as possible. Furthermore, tooth hypersensitivity is a common symptom in these patients.
The aim of this lecture is to review available prophylactic approaches and to discuss the susceptibility to caries in teeth affected by MIH.
