Abstract

Molar-incisor malformation (MIM) is a recently described dental anomaly characterized by root malformation in permanent first molars accompanied sometimes by abnormal root forms in primary second molars or enamel defects in maxillary central incisors. This report presents three cases of MIM along with a review of previous studies. Three patients exhibited abnormal root forms in the permanent first molars, with varying degrees of deformation. Two of the patients experienced medical events at birth. One of the patients was a monozygotic twin, whose twin sister exhibited normal dentition without any significant abnormalities. The present report also reviews recently reported cases of MIM in literature. In the management of MIM-associated clinical issues, consideration of microscopic features and accompanying characteristics might facilitate early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning.

Molar-incisor malformation (MIM)은 최근에 알려진 치아 이상으로 제1대구치의 치근 형태 이상이 특징적이며, 제2유구치의 비정형적 치근 형태 및 중절치의 법랑질 결함을 동반하기도 한다. 본 연구는 MIM으로 진단한 3명의 환아에 대하여 보고하고, 이에 관한 문헌 고찰을 하고자 한다. 3명의 환아 모두 제1대구치의 치근 형태 이상을 보였으며, 그 정도는 다양했다. 2명의 환아는 출생 시 의학적 병력을 가지고 있었으며, 한 명의 환아는 일란성 쌍둥이였다. 그러나 쌍둥이 동생의 임상 및 방사선학적 검사 결과 특별한 이상이 없는 정상 치열이었다. 본 연구는 최근에 보고되고 있는 MIM 증례에 관한 기술 및 방사선학적 관찰로, 해당 환아의 임상적 관리 시 이환 치아의 방사선학적 특성 및 미세해부학적 구조 및 수반하는 특성에 관한 고려는 조기 진단 및 포괄적 치료계획 수립에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
