Developmental defects of enamel include amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH). Both conditions affect the quality and quantity of enamel and severely disrupt oral functions in children with loss of occlusion, tooth sensitivity, and increased caries susceptibility. Children with AI or MIH have greater needs for dental treatment throughout their life and often exhibit dental behavioral management problems. While AI is a rare disease, MIH is found in many different populations with a prevalence from 2.4% to 40.2%.
