Técnicas restauradoras para la hipomineralización molar incisiva en pacientes pediátricos. Revisión de la literatura

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify restorative techniques in patients with molar incisor hypomineralization. Therefore, a comprehensive investigation was conducted, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, literature reviews, narrative essays, randomized controlled trials, retrospective cohort studies, and descriptive cross-sectional studies from databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Science Direct. Additionally, a manual search of clinical medicine journals was performed according to the Scimago Journal Rank. The studies reviewed were published in the last 5 years in English and Spanish. Twenty-six studies were identified, of which 19 met the inclusion criteria. The objective was to compare the efficacy, based on a review of the literature, of different restorative techniques used in treating molar incisor hypomineralization in pediatric patients. These studies analyzed direct restorations (amalgam, glass ionomer cement, and composite resin) and indirect restorations (stainless steel crowns, porcelain, ceromer, and gold) were evaluated. In conclusion, direct restorations are typically the first choice for first permanent molars, while indirect restorations tend to be more effective for incisors. However, a standardized first-line protocol for their clinical use has not yet been established.
