Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is caused by disturbance during the
initial calcification and/or maturation of the enamel of the affected teeth.
It happens during the first two years after birth, for permanent molars or during
the third trimester of pregnancy for primary molars. The characteristic features
of MIH: opaque stains that vary in tone between white, yellow and brown, post-
eruptive enamel breakdown, atypical restorations and/or extensive caries with
opacities at the margins, sensitivity, tenderness and difficulty to treat. In Pre-
Eruptive Intracoronal Resorption (PEIR), currently of unknown aetiology- the
dentine underlying the enamel crown of still unerupted teeth is progressively
resorbed and replaced by soft granulomatous tissue leaving only a thin layer
of unsupported enamel. The fragile enamel in such teeth fractures soon after
eruption exposing the dental pulp to oral pathogens. In the absence of early
intervention, the extent of destruction of the mineralized tissues resulting from
PEIR, necessitates extraction in some 50% of affected teeth. This presentation
will describe the effect of MIH and PEIR on enamel mineralization and the
treatment options with long follow-up periods.
Biography
Uri Zilberman received his DMD degree in 1983 from the Dental
Faculty, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and his PhD degree in
2000 in Basic Science, Dental Anthropology. He specialized in
Pediatric Dentistry from 1990 and has been treating children
and adolescents for the last 30 years. He is the Head of the
Pediatric Dental Unit at Barzilai Medical University Center. He is
the Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Health Science, Ben-Gurion
University of the Negev, Beersheba and at the Dental Faculty,
Hebrew University, Jerusalem. He teaches courses on Dental
Morphology for first year Dental students and Pathophysiology
of the Oral Cavity for fourth year Pharmacology students. He
has published more than 50 research papers and chapters in
Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Anthropology. His main interests
are new dental procedures and devices for pediatric dentistry,
hereditary disorders and their effect on tooth development, and
the use of biomimetic materials in pediatric dentistry, like glass-
ionomers cements. He has developed new dental procedures
and a patented new dental device for pediatric dentistry.
