Abordagem terapêutica da hipomineralização molar-incisivo: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization is an idiopathic enamel defect that reaches the surface of molars and incisors, resulting in porous enamel and opacities that vary in hue from yellow to brown. In addition to causing aesthetic damage, the main symptomatology reported by patients is an exacerbated sensitivity to less harmful stimuli. That way, this research consists of a narrative review of the literature, with a qualitative approach, designed with the aim of discussing the main forms of therapeutic approach to HMI. Several forms of treatment for HMI are recommended in the literature, including restorations with different techniques and materials, tooth whitening, microabrasion and extractions associated with orthodontic treatment. Among the treatments aimed at reducing hypersensitivity, low-frequency laser laser therapy stands out due to its biomodulation property. It is still not possible to determine the best form of treatment for HMI, making the different methods admissible depending on the level of involvement of the dental element
