Managing first permanent molars in children with molar–incisor hypomineralization

Molar–incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a common enamel developmental condition affecting one or more first permanent molars. This article presents a practical, evidence-based summary of current management approaches for MIH-affected posterior teeth, with an emphasis on hypersensitivity management, preventive strategies and restorative interventions. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article presents a practical, evidence-based summary of current management approaches for MIH-affected posterior teeth, with an emphasis on hypersensitivity management, preventive strategies and restorative interventions.
