Abstract

Clinical management of patients with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) requires a comprehensive and multidimensional assessment that integrates clinical, behavioral, radiographic, functional, and psychosocial parameters. This article discusses key aspects of MIH management, including diagnosis and severity grading; non-invasive strategies aimed at preventing enamel breakdown; restorative management of severely affected molars, including the role of timed extractions; esthetic treatment to mask opacities in anterior teeth; and desensitizing approaches for the management of hypersensitivity. The literature for this narrative review was identified through targeted searches in PubMed for classic and recent publications on the clinical management of MIH. Reference lists of relevant articles were also hand-searched to identify additional relevant studies. Finally, future perspectives and emerging directions in MIH management are discussed.
