ABSTRACT
Dental enamel defects in the primary dentition are common in children with a history of prematurity and low birth weight. One of the causes of prematurity is twin pregnancy, which causes most cases to be premature due to restricted intrauterine growth. The objective of this report is to relate the importance of a correct and early diagnosis and as treatment alternatives for of Deciduous Molar Hypomineraliation (DMH) in premature twins.
Materials and methods: 5 years old, female, identical twins who had the same HMD pattern in their teeth 55,65,75,85 presented with a long history of destruction and sensitivity. They had previously received dental care. Only one of the sisters received restorative treatment. The other sister did not have
treatment performed although, behavioral management techniques were used. In clinical and radiographic examination, the possibility of performing the Hall technique on teeth 55, 65 of female 1 and 85 of female 2 was found.
Results: Teeth 75 and 85 of female 1 were diagnosed clinically and radiographically with restoration restored in composite resin. , as they had provisional and asymptomatic restorations. Teeth 55 and 65 of twin 2 receive ionomeric restorations and tooth 75 pulpectomy and steel crown.
Conclusion: Hall Technique is very welcome when it comes to rehabilitation in hypoplasia, especially with regard to the middle age, there are still diagnostic errors when examining an HMD (Deciduous Molar Hypomineralization).
