The prevalence of developmental enamel defects was 10.28% for permanent incisors and 4.26% to permanent molars; MIH syndrome prevalence in the studied casuistry was 14.54%. We notice the presence of multiple lesions 3.3% – opacity, hypoplasia or stains, and in 64.4% of cases the defect extension less than one third of the tooth surface.
