Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation: A Review

Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation is the term used to describe a specific pattern of enamel defects. It causes hypomineralisation of one to four First Permanent Molar, frequently associated with affected incisors. Investigators have put forward a number of possible causes; asthma, pneumonia upper respiratory tract infections, otitis media, antibiotics, dioxins in mothers milk, tonsillitis and tonsillectomy exanthematous fevers of childhood. At present times the etiology remains unclear. MIH requires a multidisciplinary approach hence a general physician/dentist should consult a pediatric dentist for management of such teeth.
