Molar Incisor Hypomineralization Megha Chawla

This book is about MIH. From a clinical point of view MIH is associated with extensive objective and subjective problems such as hypersensitivity of the affected teeth, enamel breakdown and problems with retention of fillings. The condition often also leads to dental fear and dental management problems. Weerheijm and co-workers defined the phenomenon as a hypomineralization of systemic origin of one to four permanent first molars frequently associated with affected incisors and suggested the name Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH).
