TREATMENT OUTCOME OF MIH-AFFECTED INCISORS USING RESIN INFILTRATION: A CASE REPORT
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to present a case of successful treatment of hypomineralized anterior teeth in a patient with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) using resin infiltration (ICON DMG). This case report describes a 19-year-old male patient who presented with hypersensitivity in the upper right first molar and expressed concern about the esthetics of the upper left central incisor. The patient was diagnosed with severe MIH. Following remineralization therapy and restoration of the upper right first molar, esthetic treatment of the affected incisor was carried out using ICON DMG. After resin infiltration and final restoration with composite, the white spot lesion on the incisor was effectively eliminated, restoring the natural shape and color of the tooth. The results demonstrate the feasibility and high esthetic effectiveness of resin infiltration in the treatment of enamel defects caused by MIH.
