Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and deproteinization in teeth with molar incisor hypomineralization: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a complex developmental enamel defect influenced by various factors, including genetic predisposition. This condition primarily affects the first permanent molars and, in some instances, the permanent incisors. In this case series, we examined the clinical effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and deproteinization with Papacárie on teeth with MIH and carious lesions, focusing on decontamination, hypersensitivity control, and restoration longevity with the use of minimally invasive techniques.

Case description

Seven permanent first molars from children aged 7 to 10 years, with carious dentin lesions and post-eruptive fractures, which required restorative clinical treatment, were selected. Selective chemical-m
