A 5-year-old Brazilian child, male gender, was diagnosed with Molar Incisor Hypomineralization, reporting high teeth sensitivity. After anamnesis and clinical examination, treatment was conducted with three weekly applications of fluoride varnish containing 5% CPP-ACP complex. Also, it was advice to the patient for using a toothpaste containing fluoride and CPP-ACP (MI Paste Plus). After that, molars with great tooth structure loss were restored with resin modified glass ionomer cement. Prior to the first topical application of varnish with CPP-ACP and fluoride toothpaste containing CPP-ACP, a sensitivity test was conducted using thermal stimulus and facial pain scale.
