Hipomineralização molares e incisivos : revisão de literatura.

Abstract

The diseases on the enamel are studied and mentioned from a long time ago, in between these there is the (MIH) Molar Incisor Hypomineralization, which has been appearing more often. Observing this increase, the need to carry out a bibliographic search has become of great value, with a focus on gathering more information on its definition, histology, etiology, clinical manifestations, prevalence, differential diagnosis and options to the treatment of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization. The bibliographic material in which this study was based on were articles from Pubmed, Scielo, CAPES and also books available in our University’s library. 31 articles were analyzed, including research and theoretical references and 2 book chapters on the subject. It is concluded that there is still no methodological consensus to assess the prevalence of MIH. Differential diagnoses of hypoplasia, dental fluorosis and imperfect amelogenesis are approached with a consensus, facilitating the differentiation of oral lesions. The ways of treatment presented themselves with very divergent opinions among the authors, ranging from topical application of fluoride to restorations with composite resin, depending on the degree of dental involvement.
