MOLAR INCISOR HYPOMINERALISATION

The presence of MIH molars not only requires as dentists to identify problems at the earliest opportunity, but we also have to explain the problems thoroughly to the parents and child. As only the first permanent molars (and sometimes the incisors) are affected by the developmental enamel defect, the parents can be reassured with respect to the quality of the remaining teeth that have not yet erupted.
