Quality of life can be positively affected by good health or negatively by oral diseases, manifesting itself in the daily functioning and general well-being of the individual who may present difficulty chewing, decreased appetite, weight loss, sleeping difficulties, behavioral changes or decreased school performance. Incisor molar hypomineralization (HMI) affects one to four permanent first molars, with or without compromise of the permanent incisors. It is classified as: Mild, moderate, and severe according to its degree of affection. The following is the case of a 7-year-1-month-old female patient who attended the dental clinic of the School of Dentistry, University of El Salvador and reported provoked pain, loss of appetite and sleeping difficulties. On clinical examination, multiple carious lesions were observed in the deciduous dentition, atypical restoration in tooth 2-6 and severe loss of structure in tooth 3-6 with pulp involvement. The objective of this work was to know the negative impact on the quality of life of the pediatric patient undergoing the clinical condition of HMI. HMI has a high prevalence worldwide and it is considered a public health problem. An early diagnosis will allow establishing the best clinical approach, emphasizing education and prevention, to improve the quality of life of children since this clinical condition shows a greater risk of post-eruptive dental fractures, tooth sensitivity, difficulty at the time of chewing and development of dental caries
