Abstract

Hypomineralization is becoming more frequent every day. If molars containing enamel rupture are found in pediatric patients and present dentin exposure caused by MIH, it is necessary for patients to undergo some treatment to manage this pathogen (5). One of the objectives of this review is to present the different treatments that facilitate the restoration and maintenance of adequate oral health, affected by MIH. Methods: The studies were analyzed from 2017 to 2022, these found in Pubmed, Scopus, Ebsco, Proquest and Science Direct. To carry out the systematic direction, the PRISMA guidelines were followed, the evolution of quality, and the risk of bias was carried out considering the criteria set forth in the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute – NHLBI tool. Results: After applying the keywords for the search, 1498 articles were found, in which exclusion and inclusion criteria were applied, duplicated, in addition, they passed through different filters where 171 were evaluated and 8 of them were chosen. Therefore, The data obtained from these articles were ordered for the extraction of information, and the study standards such as methodology and results were followed. Conclusion: The results obtained from the 8 articles demonstrate the different treatments used in the last 5 years to treat molar-incisor hypomineralization, even so, more studies are needed to investigate more treatments, clinical protocols, therapeutics, used in patients with MIH in the last 5 years.
