Abstract
Demarcated hypomineralization lesions of enamel (DHL) are
qualitative developmental abnormalities of dental enamel, described morphologically
as well-defined areas of hypomineralization. Two distinct entities of DHL have been
demonstrated: Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) and Hypomineralized Second
Primary Molars (HSPM). To date, very few prevalence studies of DHL exist in the
Arab and Saudi regions.
