Clinical RelevanceTotal-etch adhesive systems and resin composite are clinically viable dental materials for esthetic restorations in teeth presenting white/yellow/brown hypomineralization stains.SUMMARYMolar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a condition that negatively affects enamel and dentin, especially the first molars and permanent incisors, causing esthetic and functional problems. The present clinical case report presents and discusses the etiology and clinical characteristics of MIH and describes a restorative protocol for MIH-affected teeth.
