DMG presents: The 4th IconVention Online - 11th September 2024
A successful programme continues: The 4th IconVention Online will once again offer a series of online seminars, covering various aspects of vestibular infiltration treatment. Several prominent, internationally recognized infiltration experts have been engaged as speakers. Participation is free of charge.
This time, the thematic focus is on developmental enamel opacities, with special emphasis on MIH. The series of events is extensively dedicated to the topic and provides insights into gentle treatment options. The topic will be examined in depth, both scientifically and clinically.
In the event presented here, to which you are cordially invited, we will be discussing the topic of the actual event.
Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) – coming to a child near you soon!
Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a prevalent qualitative developmental defect of enamel, which affects the first permanent molars and often the permanent incisors in around 1 in 8 people worldwide, with some significant regional variation in prevalence. This demarcated defect affects the enamel (and probably the underlying dentine as well), with characteristics of decreased mineral density, decreased strength and altered appearance (opacity) – with great variability of lesions between and within individuals.
Affected individuals, especially those with severely affected molars, have a considerable burden of care related to the affected teeth, and the outcomes of dental care are often poor. A similar condition affects the second primary molars, but evidence would suggest all teeth are susceptible to ‘MIH-like’ defects. This talk will focus on terminology, aetiological factors and prevalence, with reference to recent research.

He is also a long term member of the editorial boards of the European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry and the International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry. David is a past president of the IADR paediatric oral health research group.
Over the past 20 years David has spoken throughout Australia, Asia and Europe and has wide ranging research experience in developmental defects of enamel (especially MIH), resin infiltration of MIH lesions, CPP-ACP, Minimum Intervention Dentistry, the detection of carious lesions, and the use of calcium silicates in endodontics. He has published more than 150 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and according to Google scholar he has been cited more than 7000 times since 2018. He is currently supervising far too many PhD and masters students research projects.
