Abstract

Introduction: Clinical manifestations of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) can be confused with other developmental defects of the enamel, complicating early diagnosis and appropriate treatment intervention. Case Report: This case report demonstrated that signs suggestive of the MIH defect in first molars were possible to be identified on panoramic radiographs and 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, before the teeth erupted. The defect was proven with the eruption of the tooth. Conclusion: Panoramic radiography and CBCT were radiological alternative for the early identification of signs of MIH. However, CBCT should not be routinely indicated due to its higher radiation dose.
