Aesthetic Rehabilitation of Anterior Teeth With Molar Incisor Hypomineralization—A Case Report of a New Approach to Selective Removal

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative enamel defect that can affect not only molars but also anterior teeth leading to both pain and aesthetic problems. There are various treatment options for MIH such as resin infiltration, microabrasion, and resin composite restoration. A 14‐year‐old girl presented with opaque MIH lesions on upper central incisors. The hypomineralized tissue was selectively removed using only Soflex discs and white stone burs, and subsequently restored with resin composite. The treatment preserves healthy tooth structure while simultaneously removing completely the affected portion of the tooth painlessly. The final result was aesthetically pleasing and the technique proved to be an easily reproducible treatment option for anterior teeth severely affected with MIH.
