“…DMH and MIH were diagnosed according to the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) criteria 22 . A first permanent molar or a second primary molar was diagnosed as having MIH or DMH when at least one of these criteria or a combination was found 23 . Enamel defects were differentiated from carious lesions by their clinical appearance and locations (usually not related to gingival margins or occlusal fissures) 2 .…”

Aim: To determine if the prevalence of enamel hypoplasia, molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) and deciduous molar hypomineralisation (DMH) is associated with the socioeconomic status of the child and to determine the prevalence of enamel hypoplasia and MIH/DMH comorbidity in the study population. Methods: Information was collected on the sex and socioeconomic status of the 1,169 study participants' resident in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, recruited through a household survey. The children were clinically examined to assess for the presence of enamel hypoplasia, MIH and DMH. Associations between sex, socioeconomic status and the prevalence of enamel hypoplasia, MIH and DMH were determined. The proportion of children with enamel hypoplasia and MIH/DMH co-morbidity was also determined. Results: Among the 1,169 study participants, 47(4.0%) had MIH, 15 (1.3%) had DMH and 161 (13.8%) had enamel hypoplasia. One (0.09%) study participant had MIH/DMH co-morbidity, 12 (1.0%) had DMH/enamel hypoplasia co-morbidity, and 9 (0.8%) had MIH/hypoplasia co-morbidity. There was no significant association between the socioeconomic status and presence of enamel hypoplasia (p=0.22), MIH (p=0.78) or DMH (p=1.00). Conclusions: The socioeconomic status cannot be used as a distinguishing factor for enamel hypoplasia, MIH and DMH. The possibility of co-existence of enamel hypoplasia and MIH/DMH makes it imperative to find ways to distinguish between the lesions.

“…[6] Prevalence of DMH is reported to be 4.9-9%. [5,6] Etiology DDE can be described either as hypoplasia or hypomineralization. Disturbance in ameloblast functioning in the secretory stage of enamel formation results in enamel hypoplasia while disturbances in transitional and/or maturation stage may lead to hypomineralization defect, [7] of which MIH (and DMH) is a form.…”

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a congenital disease which is increasing in prevalence. It affects permanent first molars and, often to a lesser degree, permanent incisors with variable severity. The etiology is unknown, but various risk factors have been put forward. Differential diagnosis is mandatory not to confound MIH with other diseases such as amelogenesis imperfecta or fluorosis. Treatment consists in a minimally invasive approach by reinforcing and protecting the existing dental structure. In more severe cases, restorative treatment or extraction may be indicated.

“…Though, development of primary second molars and permanent first molars and incisors start almost at the same age, maturation of the permanent teeth is slower than the primary teeth. A risk factor during this overlapping period might cause hypomineralization in the primary and permanent dentition [2][3][4]10]. A tooth affected by either MIH or DMH has demarcated enamel opacities of different color when compared to normal teeth.…”

“…In MIH, enamel is soft and porous and may undergo post-eruptive breakdown resulting in formation of cavities or coronal distortion. The mineral density of theses molars is 20-22% lower when compared to the unaffected molars [3]. The possible management options for DMH include from glass ionomer cement (GIC) restoration to preformed crowns, in some cases extraction of affected tooth is also indicated [5].…”

Introduction and Objective: An idiopathic qualitative defect of enamel, affecting one or more of the permanent molars with/without permanent incisors is known as Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH). Similar defect on primary second molars is termed as deciduous molar hypomineralization (DMH). Case report and Conclusion: The prevalence rate of MIH and DMH worldwide is between 2.4%-40.2% and 4.9%-9.0% respectively. Clinically, these defects appear as white, yellow or brown spots, and surface is smooth with normal thickness of the enamel. Lack of quality in the enamel causes porosity that fractures easily under mastication, exposing the dentin, and further allows progression of caries. Hence, this condition should be diagnosed as early as possible for providing a preventive management against caries and avoid post eruptive breakdown. In addition, intervention with full coverage restoration is needful in the management of the affected teeth. Preformed metal crowns (PMCs) are recommended as the best full coverage restoration for managing primary molar teeth. The Hall Technique embraces changing concepts of managing, without local anesthesia, caries removal or tooth preparation. Management of teeth with DMH is challenging as it is quite difficult to achieve anesthesia and due to hypersensitivity, the co-operation of the child is questionable.
