Clinical Case: Managing the restoration of enamel structural defects

Using 3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match.

About the Case

MIH syndrome is becoming increasingly common. The patient in this case is a 24-year-old male with a vestibular enamel defect on tooth 11. In my opinion, composite is the material of choice in these cases, which I can approach minimally invasively and with a satisfactory aesthetic result.

The challenge: Achieve a satisfactory aesthetic result for the patient with minimal removal of tooth structure.

The Outcome

3M Filtek Easy Match‘s ability to mimic the effect of a single opacity and color is enough to create an invisible restoration in such an aesthetically demanding area.
