Recent data indicates that molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a frequently - encountered dental condition worldwide. The condition could be associated with dental complications that might affect patients' quality of life as well as create treatment challenges to dentists. The affected teeth are more prone to caries and post-eruptive enamel breakdown, therefore, it is believed that this condition might be responsible for a substantial proportion of childhood caries since the condition has high prevalence. MIH is common, and as such it should be diagnosed and managed in primary care wherever possible. Early diagnosis can lead to more effective and conservative management. This article aims to highlight different aspects related to MIH, from its prevalence to treatment options in young patients.
近期数据表明，磨牙-切牙矿化不全（MIH）是一种在全球范围内经常遇到的牙科疾病。这种疾病可能与牙科并发症相关，这些并发症可能会影响患者的生活质量，并给牙医带来治疗挑战。受影响的牙齿更容易患龋齿和牙釉质萌出后破损，因此，由于这种疾病的高患病率，人们认为它可能是儿童龋齿的很大一部分原因。MIH很常见，因此应尽可能在初级保健中进行诊断和管理。早期诊断可以带来更有效和保守的治疗。本文旨在强调与MIH相关的不同方面，从其患病率到年轻患者的治疗选择。
