Summary

This study tested two simple, non-drilling treatments to cover up white or brown stains on children's front teeth caused by a condition called Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH). 64 kids aged 8-10 and their parents rated how the teeth looked before and 3 months after treatment. The goal was to see which method improved appearance and made kids and parents happier with their smiles.
