Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a developmentally-derived dental defect that involves hypomineralisation of one or all four first permanent molars and is frequently associated with similarly affected permanent incisors. Clinically, the defect appears as opacities, coalesced pit, grooves and also seen with lost enamel. This results in poor esthetics, tooth sensitivity and malocclusion, making management of MIH patients difficult by various preventive approaches eg: remineralization with topical fluoride and non fluoride agents, desensitizing agents, pit and fissure sealants and minimally invasive treatment approaches for MIH affected restoring permanent incisors and permanent molars has been described in this review.
