ABSTRACT
Thе article describes the modern aspect of diagnosis, differential diagnosis and record of molar incisor hypomineralization, which are applicable in the practice of a dentist.
The aim of the study. To analyze domestic and foreign literature devoted to modern methods of diagnosing molar incisor hypomineralization.
Objects and methods. The clinical protocols in force in the Republic of Belarus and modern medical scientific literature (4 domestic sources and 10 foreign sources) were analyzed.
Results and discussion. Diagnosis of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is based on the analysis of the group affiliation of the affected teeth, the kinds of the areas of enamel opacity, signs of post-eruptive loss of enamel, dentin sensitivity, atypical restorations and extracted first permanent molars. Differential diagnosis of molar incisor hypomineralization is carried out with fluorosis, enamel caries, dentin caries, enamel hypoplasia, and amelogenesis imperfecta.
Conclusion. MIH prevalence in the Republic of Belarus should be determined. Prognostic criteria for the risk of post-eruptive enamel loss and the risk of caries development in individuals with MIH, as well as algorithms for early detection and differential diagnosis of MIH in the pediatric population should be developed.

Keywords: molar incisor hypomineralization, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, record
