Table 4: A clinical management approach for permanent first molars affected by MIH

Steps          Recommended procedures     
Risk identification          Assess medical history for putative etiological factors     
Early diagnosis          Examine at risk molars on radiograph if possible Monitor these teeth during eruption     
Remineralization and desensitization          Apply localized topical fluorides     
Prevention of dental caries and PEB          Institute through oral hygiene home care program Reduce cariogenicity and erosivity of diet Place pit and fissure sealants     
Restorations and extractions          Place intracoronal (resin composite) bonded with self-etching primer adhesive or extracoronal restorations (stainless steel crowns). Consider orthodontic outcomes postextraction     
Maintenance          Monitor margins of restorations for PEB
Consider full coronal coverage restorations in the long-term
