Mastering Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH): Diagnosis, Treatment, and Clinical Trials

About This Course

This course covers the definition, prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of MIH, including conservative and restorative options. It includes a clinical trial comparing composite restorations and discusses future research directions.

Why Take This Course?

This course addresses a common challenge faced by dental professionals in the UK, which is the management and treatment of MIH (molar incisor hypomineralisation). MIH is a developmental defect of enamel that affects a significant percentage of children and can cause significant functional and aesthetic problems. The course covers the etiology, diagnosis, and classification of MIH, as well as various conservative and restorative treatment options, including direct and indirect composite restorations, metal crowns, and onlays. The clinical trial comparing direct vs indirect composite restorations is particularly relevant as it provides evidence-based guidance on the most effective treatment approach for MIH cases. The course also discusses clinical performance, patient satisfaction, and future research directions, which can inform treatment planning and improve outcomes for MIH patients.

This course on MIH is beneficial as it covers various topics related to MIH, including its definition, prevalence, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment options. It also discusses conservative and restorative management strategies, including direct and indirect composite resin restorations, metal crowns, and onlays. The course concludes with discussions on clinical performance, child satisfaction, limitations, and future research directions, and treatment planning based on study results.
