Background: The Molar Incisor hypomineralization teeth are more prone to caries and post-eruptive enamel breakdown; therefore, it is believed that this condition might be responsible for a substantial proportion of childhood caries. It should be diagnosed as early as possible and managed in a conservative way wherever possible. The aim of this article, including three case reports is to briefly discuss the aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with molar incisor hypomineralization. In all three cases presented, the aetiology was related to systemic factors that occurred in the first year of life, especially respiratory deficiency and episodes of high fever. Treatment decisions were made according to the severity of hypomineralization. The possible differential diagnosis for MIH is discussed. Keywords: First molar, Hypo mineralization, hypoplasia, post-eruptive enamel breakdown.
