Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental condition affecting the enamel, primarily targeting one to four permanent first molars, often with the involvement of permanent incisors. The condition is characterized by distinct white-yellow or yellow-brown opacities, with more severe cases exhibiting hypomineralized enamel that is prone to breakdown. Recent data highlights MIH as a widespread dental issue seen across the globe. Despite its prevalence, the exact etiology remains unclear due to the variety of potential contributing factors. Managing MIH is particularly challenging, requiring a holistic approach to address the broad spectrum of symptoms and the heightened sensitivity of the affected teeth. Given the unique challenges of MIH, it is essential to gather updated and thorough knowledge. This understanding is critical for exploring potential preventive measures and enhancing treatment outcomes. This review aimed to examine the underlying causes of MIH, assess various treatment strategies, and offer a thorough understanding of the condition based on the latest research.
磨牙症伴切牙矿化不全（MIH）是一种影响牙釉质的发育状况，主要累及一至四颗恒牙第一磨牙，常伴有恒牙切牙受累。该病的特征是出现明显的白黄色或黄棕色不透明区，病情较重的病例表现为矿化不全的牙釉质，容易破损。最新数据表明，MIH是全球普遍存在的牙齿问题。尽管其发病率很高，但由于潜在的促成因素多种多样，确切病因仍不清楚。管理MIH极具挑战性，需要采取整体方法来解决广泛的症状以及患牙的高敏感性问题。鉴于MIH的独特挑战，获取最新且全面的知识至关重要。这种理解对于探索潜在的预防措施和提高治疗效果至关重要。本综述旨在研究MIH的潜在病因，评估各种治疗策略，并根据最新研究对该病提供全面的理解。
