Management of Teeth Affected by Molar Incisor Hypomineralization Using a Resin Infiltration Technique—A Systematic Review
Source abstract
Abstract
In recent years, an increase in children diagnosed with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) has been observed. Children with MIH show a high failure rate with conservative treatment. The ICON® system (DMG, Hamburg, Germany), which is an infiltration of decalcified lesions with resin, may strengthen the tooth structure, improve its aesthetics, and cure hypersensitivity. The following article is a systematic review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Scientific articles in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases describing the use of the ICON system in the treatment of MIH published in the years 2012–2022 were analyzed. Two independent study authors selected publications that show that the ICON system can be used during the treatment of children with MIH. So far, in the literature, there are no standardized protocols for the dental treatment of patients with hypomineralization of the incisors using the ICON system. Therefore, clinicians rarely use this method of treatment. The ICON system may be successfully used to infiltrate tooth decalcification in children with MIH. However, the depth of infiltration and the achievement of enamel hardness after such therapy are not precisely defined.
