Treatment protocols in molar incisor hypomineralization: New remineralizing agents and sealants
Introduction: Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a pathology whose prevalence has been growing in recent years.
These are qualitative defects of the enamel, with different degrees of involvement, which involve at least one of the first
permanent first molars. Often, permanent incisors are also affected, although to a lesser extent. The MIH is a great challenge
for the dental hygienist.
Objective: The main objective of this workshop is to make practice on the treatment and prevention of MIH all based on the
scientific evidence MIH is, emphasizing the remineralization of the affected tissue, following the protocol of the health unit of
the care center health seminar (Aragonese health service).
Material & Methods: These protocols have been based on a narrative review, based on a systematic search for information.
The PubMed (MEDLINE) and SciELO databases, as well as the Cochrane Library, were consulted. The key words used, in
Spanish and English: molar incisor hypomineralization, remineral, fluorine, calcium, arginine, xylitol, hydroxyapatite, cement,
resin and sealers. The inclusion criteria were: a) All the methodological designs; b) Publications in English and Spanish; c)
Publications between 2007 and 2017. After reviewing the abstract, a total of 80 articles were selected for full-text analysis.
Results & Discussion: Currently the etiology of MIH is unknown. In any case, the differential diagnosis is fundamental to
not confuse the lesions with other entities to the MIH and its treatment. Currently, clinical management is oriented towards
prevention and minimally invasive methods, consisting of remineralizing agents, to reinforce and protect the existing dental
structure. In the mildest and most moderate cases, pit and fissure sealants may be indicated by previous remineralization
treatments.
