The causes of this disease, which has been observed for around 30 years and was first classified in 2001, are still unknown. Explanations range from developmental disorders and childhood illnesses to the consequences of antibiotic treatment or the use of plastic drinking bottles.
In its September issue, the ZR ZahnmedizinReport from the IWW Institute in Nordkirchen presents this major challenge for pediatric dentistry: It shows the clinical picture and diagnostics as well as a step-by-step plan for the treatment of MIH. All of this is presented in a concise and practical manner. Practical knowledge in a nutshell.
At the same time, the IWW Institute has also compiled the dossier "Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH)", which presents additional study results, classifications of severity and treatment options. This dossier is aimed at dental practices, but also at parents of affected children, and can be requested by e-mail(overbeck@iww.de) or telephone (02596 922-61).
