Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common developmental dental condition that presents in childhood. Areas of poorly formed enamel affect one or more first permanent molars and can cause opacities on the anterior teeth. MIH presents a variety of challenges for the dental team as well as functional and social impacts for affected children.
Here, we provide an up-to-date review of the epidemiology, aetiology, diagnosis and clinical management of MIH.
A review of the contemporary basic science and clinical literature, relating to MIH, was undertaken using information obtained (up to 10 April 2020) from the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library.
There is a growing body of evidence relating to the aetiology, presentation and clinical management of MIH. Current knowledge appears to be focused on potential genetic aspects, as well as the development and validation of indices for the diagnosis and management of MIH. There has also been increasing recognition of the global and individual burden of this common condition.
Dental health professionals should regularly appraise the basic science and clinical MIH literature to ensure that they provide the best possible short- and long-term care for their young patients.
磨牙-切牙牙釉质发育不全(MIH)是一种常见的儿童期发育性牙齿疾病。釉质形成不良的区域影响一颗或多颗第一恒磨牙,并可在前牙引起不透明。MIH 给牙科团队带来了各种挑战,也给受影响的儿童带来了功能和社会影响。
本文对 MIH 的流行病学、病因学、诊断和临床管理进行了最新的综述。
对与 MIH 相关的当代基础科学和临床文献进行了回顾,使用从电子数据库 PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science 和 Cochrane Library 中获得的信息(截至 2020 年 4 月 10 日)。
目前有越来越多的证据与 MIH 的病因、表现和临床管理有关。目前的知识似乎集中在潜在的遗传方面,以及用于 MIH 诊断和管理的指数的开发和验证上。人们也越来越认识到这种常见疾病的全球和个体负担。
牙科保健专业人员应定期评估 MIH 的基础科学和临床文献,以确保为他们的年轻患者提供尽可能好的短期和长期护理。
