title: [Considerations in orthodontic bracket adhesion to hypoplastic and hypomineralized enamel].
abstract: Developmental defects of enamel are frequently observed in the pediatric and orthodontic dental clinic. Proper diagnosis may improve the clinician's dental care. The importance of prevention is emphasized as well as the proper management of adhesion of orthodontic brackets to hypoplastic and hypominerilized enamel. A review of recent research findings in this field is discussed as well as recommendations for clinical management of some common dental defects: hypoplasia, diffuse and demarcated opacities, and amelogenesis imperfecta.
