Abstrakt: This document discusses two cases of dental conditions known as molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in children. In the first case, a 7-year-old boy had severe MIH in all four first permanent molars, leading to the extraction of these teeth. Over a 10-year follow-up period, radiographs showed that the second molars migrated mesially without vertical eruption. In the second case, a 9-year-old boy had severe crowding and impacted canines, as well as MIH in the lower left first permanent molar. After extractions and orthodontic treatment, the teeth were aligned and the patient achieved acceptable esthetics. The document emphasizes the importance of appropriate timing and collaboration between dentists and orthodontists in managing cases of MIH. [Extracted from the article]
