A Structured Approach to Qualitative Developmental Enamel Defects: From Clinical Challenges to Evidence-Based Care

Sobre

Sobre o evento

Clinical Challenges and Necessities Dr. Susanne Effenberger addresses the clinical complexity of qualitative developmental enamel defects (DDEs) and guides the audience through their etiology, clinical appearance, and diagnostic challenges. Particular attention is given to molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), idiopathic lesions, and dental fluorosis as clinically relevant conditions that require careful differentiation. The session examines how these defects affect oral health, esthetics, hypersensitivity, and patients’ quality of life, and shows why a structured, patient-centered clinical workflow is essential for consistent diagnosis and well-founded treatment planning. Scientific Framework Dr. Marcus Cebula examines the scientific foundation required to establish a structured clinical workflow for the management of qualitative developmental enamel defects. He guides the audience through current evidence on diagnostic methods, severity assessment, and treatment options. By linking research findings to clinical practice, the session shows how scientific evidence can support decision-making, promote standardized patient care, and contribute to more predictable long-term treatment outcomes
