Hipomineralização de molar-incisivo: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Incisor Molar Hypomineralization is a qualitative defect of enamel that occurs in mineralized tissues, affecting one or more permanent first molars, which may or may not affect permanent incisors. Its etiology is still a challenge, but it is considered systemic and multifactorial, including prenatal, perinatal and postnatal factors, up to the first three years of life. There are several types of treatments and several factors must be analyzed before choosing them, according to each case. The objective of this research was to show the etiology, severity and forms of treatment of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization. A bibliographic review was carried out by searching for scientific articles in the Lilacs, PubMed, Scielo, CAPES and Google Scholar Periodic databases, without date limit, using the following descriptors: molar-incisor hypolarization, molar, dental anomaly, diagnosis , etiology and pediatric dentistry. It was concluded that HMI still needs to be further studied, as there is still no etiological consensus or protocol for treatment, where the approach must be performed according to each case and the type of severity must be analyzed. It is important that the dental surgeon is up to date on this condition and prepared for the management of the pediatric patient, as well as knowing how to differentiate this pathology from other changes in the dental enamel to act with the best intervention.
