Abstract

Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a structurally, aesthetically and sometimes functionally impairing condition that affects the enamel of first permanent molars and maxillary incisors. Incisor hypomineralisation can adversely impact the confidence of individuals with MIH. The management of MIH depends on the extent of hypomineralisation or structure loss and can range from ultra-conservative to invasive treatment modalities.
