Molar-incisor malformation (MIM) or molar root-incisor malformation (MRIM) is a dental anomaly that affects molar teeth and maxillary central incisors. Even though, the etiology is not exactly known, it has been reported that several factors such as staphylococcal infection in the neonatal period, neurological diseases such as meningitis and hydrocephalus, ongoing medications, infectious diseases and premature delivery were effective. In this case report, the clinical and radiographic characteristics of 3 cases with MIM were specified. Early diagnosis and follow up of MIM is of great importance and there is a need for a multidisciplinary treatment approach in MIM.
