Conference summary
Developmental Enamel Defects (DED) usually occur for some event or disturbance that occurs during the stages in which the enamel tooth is forming or maturing.
Developmental defects include from Dental Fluorosis, Enamel Hypoplasias, Amelogenesis Imperfecta to Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), the latter with a prevalence of approximately 15% and with a somewhat uncertain aetiology.
In this presentation we will review the most important points of the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of Hypomineralization of Molars and Incisors.
We will talk about the different restorative alternatives for the molar hypomineralized including vital pulp therapy, steel crowns chrome and zirconia prefabricated crowns for permanent molars.
Regarding the treatment of the hypomineralized incisor, we will review the different alternatives for the management of enamel opacities with a minimally invasive approach.
Managing MIH represents a challenge and currently there are a variety of treatment alternatives.
The choice and proper handling of each of them is our decision and will depend of the clinical situation and aesthetic needs of our patients.
New products and treatment alternatives will be reviewed.
