The term Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation(MIH) describes the clinical picture of a hypo mineralisation of systemic origin of one or more of the four permanent first molars, as well as any associated and affected incisors. MIH must be regarded as a public health problem which brings painful consequences, aesthetic problems, and a negative impact on the quality of life of individuals suffering from it. It leads to a number of problems such as poor aesthetics, food retention in the defective enamel areas, and higher sensitivity of the exposed dentin. The teeth with this condition can lead to rapidly progressing caries, and hence it is necessary for dentists to identify this condition at the earliest and treat appropriately. Early management of this condition helps in preventing first permanent molar morbidity and mortality so that remineralization as a preventive measure can be instituted.In all cases of MIH, it is essential to review the child on a regular basis to assure their long-term dental health.
