Amelogenesis Imperfecta or Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation: A Narrative Review and Diagnostic Framework for Differentiating a Genetic From an Environmental Enamel Defect in Children.
Researchers reviewed evidence to develop a diagnostic framework distinguishing amelogenesis imperfecta (genetic) from molar-incisor hypomineralisation (environmental) in children, identifying that symmetrical generalized defects and family history suggest amelogenesis imperfecta, while asymmetrical localized defects in specific teeth indicate molar-incisor hypomineralisation.
