Clinical Case Management and Restorative Updates on Molar Incisor Hypomineralization
Description:
Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) encompasses a wide range and array of enamel and dentin defects that create multiple challenges for the provider, especially in the younger patient population. The course will review the current understanding of the causative factors related to MIH and how to differentiate this from other anomalies. A variety of cases based on age, severity and complexity will be reviewed and discussed to help better understand treatment planning and restorative options that exist for MIH. The main focus of the course will address the first permanent molars, molar substitution and some anterior esthetic cases. A wide assortment of materials and techniques will also be discussed to help the provider better address the stubborn nature of MIH and allow for more consistent and predictable treatment outcomes.
