Non-carious dental lesions such as developmental defects of enamel (DDE) and erosive tooth wear (ETW) are the subject intensive research. This paper aims to give perspectives on both DDE, including fluorosis molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), ETW, presenting epidemiological data from Americas associated diagnostic aspects. Besides, it is important present evidence guide clinical assessment...

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel defect in permanent first molar and inci-sor teeth. The defects may vary from white, to yellow-brown demarcated opacities that may easily break (post-eruptive breakdown) and results in extensive caries or early extraction of the teeth. The unaesthetic appearance of anterior teeth, sensitivity, pain, and difficulties in achieving local anesthes...

OBJECTIVE To compare oral health parameters: decayed missing filled teeth (dmft, DMFT), gingival index and plaque index in high-caries-risk children and children with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A study group of 81 children affected by MIH (49 girls, 32 boys) aged 8-11 years (mean 9.4 ± 1.1) was race-, age- and sex-matched with 81 high-caries-risk children not...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 12-month clinical performance of glass ionomer restorations in teeth with MIH. First permanent molars affected by MIH (48) were restored with glass ionomer cement (GIC) and evaluated at baseline, at 6 and at 12 months, by assessing tooth enamel breakdown, GIC breakdown and caries lesion associations. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test ...
