Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel formation disorder (tooth development disorder) with varying degrees of severity and still unknown causes. The severity of hypomineralization and its hypersensitivity have a decisive influence on the treatment options. In MIH, it is important to recognize the disease and treat it in a targeted manner. Once the disease has been recognized, treatment is based on three important pillars. Prophylaxis, therapy and maintenance.Mastering pain controlis crucial for this. The MIH Treatment Need Index is an excellent tool for this, allowing prophylactic, sensitivity-reducing and temporary measures to be used in a targeted manner in order to gain time and to be able to initiate the best definitive treatment later on.
