Abstract
The term Molar-incisor Hypomineralization (HMI) refers to changes in the structure of dental enamel useful for environmental or genetic factors. There is a reduced mineralization process, therefore, changing its quality; it can affect one or all of the first four permanent molars, with frequent association of the permanent incisors. The objective of the present study is to be a parameter for dental surgeons that allows a better treatment and prognosis of molar-incisor hypomineralization, reducing diagnostic errors and returning the function and aesthetics in the teeth that use these damages. This study was carried out through narrative analysis of literature, clinical cases and book chapters from January 2019 to April 2020, with 40 researched articles 30 being used in this article; as database consulted were Scielo, Google Scholar, VHL, Lilacs and PubMed on etiology and the clinical characteristics of molar-incisor hypomineralization. The treatment of molar-incisor hypomineralization depends on the severity of the affected tooth.
