Worldwide, pediatric patients frequently consult a dentist for molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), this pathology significantly affects oral health, causing dental pain, difficulty in brushing and poor oral hygiene, which will require specialized clinical treatment. In this regard, focused on this problem, the objective of this qualitative and bibliographic research was "To learn about the etiology and treatment alternatives for (MIH) in children aged 6 to 12 years". The study sample consisted of 35 scientific articles obtained from Google Scholar, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect and PubMed databases, with inclusion and exclusion criteria, organized by means of scientific evidence matrices. The results obtained indicate that the etiology of (MIH) is attributed to environmental and/or genetic factors, which to date have not been clearly defined; however, there are some predisposing factors of this pathology, such as premature delivery; low birth weight; fever; asthma and pneumonia; as well as the use of anti-inflammatory/antibiotics. The treatment alternatives of choice were prevention with remineralizing agents and composite resin restorations or glass-ionomer cements; also, the use of steel crowns and orthodontic bands. In short, the appearance of MIH is difficult to prevent, because its etiology is still unknown; therefore, it is necessary to focus on the adequate treatment, considering the best alternative, according to the degree of affectation and particularities of the case, guaranteeing an optimal and effective result for the child
