Abstract

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative developmental defect of enamel that occurs during the mineralization phase. Patients with MIH have increased risk of caries, hypersensitivity, and restoration failures. The present case report describes the treatment of a 10‐year‐old patient exhibiting two teeth with atypical carious lesions. A minimal interventive protocol was instituted combining antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and the selective chemical–mechanical removal of the carious tissue using the product Papacárie Duo®. This protocol is promising for the decontamination and control of hypersensitivity in teeth with MIH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
