Abstract

Background: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is defined as “demarcated, qualitative developmental defects of systemic origin of the enamel of one or more first permanent molars with or without the involvement of incisors.”. The exact etiology of MIH is still unclear but considered to be multifactorial. Resin infiltration provides a non-invasive treatment option for discoloured anterior non-cavitated lesions, which commonly patients can present for aesthetic needs and treatment. Objective: To report the management of MIH opacities in anterior teeth with resin infiltration technique which can achieve a non-invasive aesthetic result. Method: The author reports on one case of a 16 years old Vietnamese female patient, presented with the chief complaints of high dental sensibility, masticatory difficulty, and discoloration in the upper right first central incisor since their eruption. The treatment proposed to the patient was a conservative approach by the use of resin infiltration. Results: The treatment provided an aesthetic result that was non-invasive and produced a satisfactory outcome. Conclusion: Resin infiltration provides a non-invasive treatment option for white spots caused by molar-incisor hypomineralization with a satisfactory outcome as presented in this case.
