Тойм:Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel developmental defect (EDD) characterized by well-defined opacities that vary in size and can range in color from white to brownish-yellow.  This enamel defect increases susceptibility to caries and hypersensitivity, making appropriate management necessary.  Therapeutic options include restoration with encapsulated glass ionomer, a material with high resistance, fluoride release and good adhesion. The objective is to describe the procedure of a clinical case of MIH in which four dental units were restored with encapsulated glass ionomer. The case involved an 11-year-old male patient diagnosed with MIH in his first four permanent molars. Prophylaxis, isolation, removal of affected tissue and application of encapsulated glass ionomer as a restorative material were performed. Subsequently, clinical controls were performed to evaluate its effectiveness. The result was satisfactory, with no postoperative sensitivity and an adequate survival rate of the restorations. The material showed stability, functionality and correct aesthetic integration, allowing an effective and long-lasting restoration. The management of MIH with encapsulated glass ionomer is considered an effective therapeutic option with a high success rate, reduction of hypersensitivity and prevention of caries. Its cost-effectiveness makes it viable for public health programs. In conclusion, encapsulated glass ionomer is an effective and accessible alternative to treat MIH, ensuring optimal functional and aesthetic results for both the patient and the clinician.
