357 - Clinical Presentation of MIH in Patients Affected by Agent Orange

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel defect in which the development of ameloblasts becomes disrupted during tooth bud formation, resulting in an abnormally less mineralized enamel. Literature suggests plausible causes of MIH are associated with antibiotic use, prolonged breast feeding (contributory to dioxin), prematurity, low birth weight, perinatal complications, metabolic disorders, and/or fever. The clinical presentation of MIH can range from demarcated white-creamy opacities to yellowish-brown in color. This case report discusses about a patient who presented to the operating room for comprehensive dental care under general anesthesia with a clinical presentation of MIH who has had maternal exposure to the chemical herbicide, Agent Orange.
