Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) presents as demarcated, qualitative developmental defects of enamel affecting at least one posterior tooth with or without involvement of the permanent anterior teeth. The severity of MIH defects varies from mild to severe, and the clinical appearance from creamy/ white through yellow to brown color with or without post-eruptive enamel breakdown and possible tooth hypersensitivity (see below photographs). Hypersensitivity impairs tooth brushing and thus increases the risk of caries for MIH teeth (mainly molars). MIH prevalence has been reported to be from 2 to 40 percent.
