Children with MIH have greater needs for dental treatmentthroughout their life and often exhibit dental behavioral management problems. MIH is found in manydifferent populations worldwide with a prevalence ranging from 2.4% to 40.2%. The enamel organepithelium is affected by unknown factors resulting in MIH.
